Grief-stricken father speaks out over son’s death in bike crash

THE parents of a young man who was killed when his motorbike skidded on a muddy road said “an apparent lack of foresight” on behalf of council planners and engineers was partly to blame for their son’s death.

Gordon Daley, aged 23, from Fennell’s Bay in Crosshaven, Co Cork, died instantly when his motorbike skidded and hit a car on Maryborough Hill on the outskirts of the city on January 10.

He had finished contract work in Boston Scientific in Bishopstown earlier that day.
