Party-goer had throat slit after crashing car

Alan Boohan, aged 34, of Glenogra, Fedamore, pleaded not guilty at Limerick Circuit Court to assault causing serious harm to Eoghan O’Callaghan on the night of September 24, 2001.
Mr O’Callaghan, aged 34, from Fedamore, was at a party in Kilmallock. He met Alan Boohan who asked him to drive his van as he had too much to drink — and Mr O’Callaghan agreed. He got into the driver’s seat and four others including the accused got into the van, with Mr Boohan sitting directly behind him.
