Coroner calls for action on rate of Polish road deaths
At an inquest yesterday, Cork county coroner Frank O’Connell said Poles accounted for too many road deaths. He wants to meet Polish community representatives to discuss alcohol abuse and driving.
His comments came after an inquest in Macroom, Co Cork, heard a Polish man was three times over the limit when he died in an accident in June. Stanislaw Domagala, 49, of The Bungalow, Ballymakeera West, died after the car he was driving crashed into a ditch on the Clondrohid to Ballyvourney road. He was a married father of two, the hearing was told.
