Bail refused for driver who admits hitting men

Bail was yesterday refused for a Limerick man who, it was claimed, made full and frank admissions of being the driver of a car which struck three elderly men in Parteen village last Thursday while being pursued by gardaí.

Gardaí objected to a bail application by Michael Sheehan, aged 26, of Cliona Park, Moyross.

It was alleged at Limerick District Court that Sheehan was linked to burglaries in Aherina and Doonass in east Clare last week.
