The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has appealed against the sentence imposed on a truck driver for the careless driving causing the death of Estlin Wall, 3, and serious bodily harm to her father, Vincent three years ago.

The Courts Service today confirmed that appeal papers have been lodged by the DPP and the DPP is claiming that the sentence imposed by Judge Gerald Keys last month at Ennis Circuit Court on Senan O’Flaherty, 63, of Lower Gowerhass, Cooraclare “is unduly lenient”.
