Helmet 'probably would not have made a difference' to Cork cyclist killed, inquest hears

A well-known West Cork-based artist suffered fatal head and neck injuries and died a week after the electric-assisted bike he was riding collided with a car.

Cork City Coroner's Court was told that Robert Ian Ball, 64, who was originally from the UK but who had been living for some at Lissaclarig in Ballydehob, was not wearing a helmet at the time of the collision near Skibbereen in April 2017.
