Four years jail for teenager who knocked down Cork toddler, and drove away

“Our perfect happy, healthy little boy would have to fight the bravest battle of his life at the tender age of two years and eight months."

The teenager who knocked down a two-year-old boy outside his house and then drove off leaving him seriously injured was jailed for four years.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin said that even though the accused does not turn 18 until January 2020 he should be identified. He is Nathan O’Reilly of 32 Ballinure Avenue, Mahon, Cork.
