Cases of fatal and serious road injuries adjourned as Supreme Court considers its decision on legal issues

Nine cases under the Road Traffic Act involving fatalities and serious injury were adjourned without fixing a date at the Circuit Criminal Court in Tralee because a decision is awaited from the Supreme Court on legal issues, the court was told.

The cases were on the list for the new term which is beginning in February in Tralee, but have now been put back to the call over list for April.

The trials involve dangerous driving causing death, dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm, and careless driving causing death.
