Man, 47, charged with hit and run

FOUR counts of hit and run and possession of an offensive weapon were among the charges brought against a 47-year-old man who was involved in a collision which left an 83-year-old man in a serious condition in hospital on Thursday.

Graham Dunne was charged at Bandon District Court yesterday in connection with the hit and run incident. He was charged with drink driving, refusing to give a test at Bandon Garda station and unauthorised use of a vehicle.

He was remanded in custody and is due to appear in court again next Friday.
