The Ukrainian motorist who denies dangerous driving causing the death of GAA broadcaster Paudie Palmer texted a friend that day saying: “I am in the wrong 100%, I drove off, I was drunk, there is no excuse for me, I am guilty of it all.” 

This text written in Russian by the accused man was translated for Judge Colin Daly and a jury of five women and seven men by Russian translator, Liudmila Ladchenko, at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.
