Failure to prosecute ‘due to office error’

ANN BRANNIGAN was about to turn in to shops situated on the main Castleblaney to Monaghan road when her Toyota Corolla was struck from behind.

The collision propelled the car into oncoming traffic and it was struck again by a vehicle rented by four German students.

Mrs Brannigan, who lived with her husband Aidan in Annyally in Co Monaghan, was severely injured following the double collision. She fought for her life but died a month later on January 3, 1996.
