The man who denies dangerous driving causing the death of GAA broadcaster Paudie Palmer in Innishannon at Christmas time in 2022 allegedly told friends on phone calls afterwards that he was involved in a serious incident, that he had consumed alcohol and that he left the scene.

These allegations were made in an outline of the anticipated evidence in the trial but the prosecution lawyer stressed that his outline at the opening of the case was not itself evidence.
