An apology has been read out in the High Court to the family of a woman who was knocked down by a refuse truck on a city street and later died of her injuries.

Ann Marie Beahan was walking home from her local shops when the accident happened in Inchicore, Dublin four years ago. She died in hospital the next day on what should have been her 65th birthday.
