Man quizzed over St Patrick’s Day death

Gardaí investigating the death of a man who was found critically injured on the street after St Patrick’s Day celebrations questioned a man over the weekend.

Richard O’Leary from Dungarvan died on Friday in Cork University Hospital, less than a week after he was found unconscious on TF Meagher St in the town in the early hours of March 18.

Two people performed CPR on him on the street after he was found between 1am and 1.30am. He was brought to South Tipperary General Hospital by ambulance but was transferred to CUH due to the nature of his head injuries. Doctors put him in a medically-induced coma but he died on Friday.
