Cyclist contests careless driving charge

A cyclist is to contest a charge of careless driving on a bicycle on New Year’s eve 2013.

At Ennis District Court yesterday, Caoimhe Collins, solicitor for cyclist Thomas Murphy, told Judge Patrick Durcan that a date would be required for a hearing in the case.

When the case first came before the court in May, Judge Durcan said that it was the first such case he had come across in his court.
