Gardaí ‘too busy’ to answer call for help

A DUBLIN murder trial has heard that gardaí did not respond to an incident that preceded the killing because they were too busy.

An officer from Garda Communications was giving evidence in the trial of a 25-year-old mother who has admitted killing a 66-year-old taxi driver almost four years ago.

Claire Nolan, of Sheephill Green, Blanchardstown, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of father of four Michael Duffy on January 26, 2008, by crushing him with her car.
