Uninsured driver who knocked down and killed cyclist has sentence increased

Speaking outside court afterwards, the cyclist’s daughter called for stricter penalties to be introduced.

An uninsured driver who knocked down and killed a cyclist after breaking a red light in Dublin will have to spend an extra nine months in prison.

Christopher Coleman was jailed for two and a half years for dangerous driving causing the death of 62-year-old Eugene Maher in June 2015.
