Ukrainian accused of causing death of GAA broadcaster was driving safely, court told

GAA broadcaster Paudie Palmer died from traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries.

The Ukrainian national who denies dangerous driving causing the death of GAA broadcaster Paudie Palmer at Innishannon at Christmas time in 2022 claimed through his lawyer that he drove through the crossroads as safely as he could.

Defence senior counsel Seamus Roche had this to say to Judge Jonathan Dunphy and a jury of seven women and five men on the second day of the trial at Cork Circuit Criminal Court when they also heard from pathologist Dr Margaret Bolster on the cause of Mr Palmer’s death.
