Man found not guilty over death of cyclist

A JURY has returned a verdict of not guilty yesterday at Limerick Circuit Court in a case arising out of a road death.

Joseph Hanley, 26, of 5 Sycamore Drive, Bruff, was found not guilty of dangerous driving causing the death of Carmel O’Brien, 49, at Uregare, Kilmallock, on August 17, 2007.

Ms O’Brien had gone out for her morning cycle, earlier than usual, as she and her husband planned to attend a nephew’s wedding later that day.
