Fresh charges are to be brought against a Ukrainian refugee accused of dangerous driving causing the death of a fellow Ukrainian man with whom she had been socialising in Cork.

The Director of Public Prosecutions directed on Thursday that the case is to proceed by indictment. Sergeant Gearóid Davis said at Cork District Court that new charges were to be brought against the defendant.
