A judge has restored, despite Garda objections, the driving licence of the driver whose careless driving caused the death of a toddler in Clare six years ago.

In April 2020, a four-year driving ban was imposed on Senan O’Flaherty of Lower Gowerhass, Cooraclare, Co Clare for careless driving causing the death of Estlin Wall (3) on March 15, 2017 - a number of days before Estlin was due to celebrate her fourth birthday.
