A farmer who caused a serious leg injury to his neighbour on his motorcycle has actively assisted the injured man in getting to his hospital visits and tended to him during his initial recovery.

Con Barrett of Liscubba, Rossmore, Clonakilty, Co Cork, pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention, thereby causing harm to his neighbour Neil O’Donovan on August 7, 2019.
