US man bailed again on dangerous driving charge

An ER surgeon returned from Portland, Oregan, to Cork yesterday to face a charge of dangerous driving causing the death of a woman in Cork during the summer.

Cedric Simpson, aged 50, was previously released on bail at Cork District Court having lodged €10,000 cash and yesterday’s brief hearing saw him further remanded on bail to return to court in February 2017.

Defence solicitor, Henry McCourt, said it was his understanding that a book of evidence would be served on Mr Simpson on that occasion.
