An award of €900,000 was made yesterday to the family of a 42-year-old man fatally injured while training for a charity cycle in Kerry in aid of people with Down Syndrome.

Legal costs, paid for by the State, associated with the 14-day trial of a 23-year-old man who denied killing a father of four who had been training for the annual Ring of Kerry charity cycle in July 2012 have amounted to just under €70,000.

A man in his 40s died in a hit-and-run incident in Co Kerry.
