Renewed plea for information on hit-and-run at cyclist’s inquest

Pleas were renewed yesterday for information that could lead to the arrest of a driver involved in a fatal hit-and-run in Co Kerry.

Father-of-four Paud O’Leary, of Leameglissane, Gneeveguilla, died instantly after being knocked down as he cycled less than a mile from his home on Jul 1.

An inquest into the 42-year-old’s death was opened in Killarney yesterday and adjourned, with the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions, until investigations into the case are completed.
