A Wexford man suffered fatal injuries during his first lesson on learning to ride a motorcycle after colliding with a wall at a training compound, an inquest has heard.

Paul Martin, 48, a father of three from Cromogue, Bunclody, Co Wexford, died at Tallaght University Hospital in Dublin on June 13, 2021, a few hours after being transported by air ambulance from the Showgrounds in Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, where he had been taking a professional driving lesson in the car park of the local greyhound stadium.
