Widower appeals to judge for leniency for dangerous driver
A widower whose wife was killed in a car crash said today that the accident had taken away the woman he loved for 35 years but he and his two children did not want to see the man responsible going to jail as there had been enough suffering already.
Joe Le Blanc of Innishannon, County Cork, gave evidence this evening on behalf of himself and his son and daughter, as Paul O’Mahony, 25, of Farranhoe, Innishannon, faced sentencing on the charge of dangerous driving causing the death of Goretti Le Blanc a few miles from her home on October 22 2004.
