Bail for man charged with charity cycle road death

A man charged in connection with the road death of a Ring of Kerry charity cyclist has secured bail.

Three weeks ago, gardaí objected to bail being granted to Shane Fitzgerald, who was arrested on the runway at Cork Airport and charged with dangerous driving causing the death in July 2012 of Paudie O’Leary.
