Laura Connolly had been shopping for a wedding dress with friends. A man pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing her death in Lifford in 2021, shortly after she had been 'window shopping' for wedding dresses. Sean Connaughton admitted to a hit-and-run incident at Townparks, Lifford on July 11, 2021, where Ms. Laura Connolly, a 34-year-old pedestrian, lost her life. She was taken to University Hospital Letterkenny and pronounced dead. Earlier that day, Ms. Connolly had been shopping for a wedding dress with friends for her upcoming marriage to Joe McCullagh in 2022.
Connaughton, a father-of-two from Donegal with an address in Co Louth, pleaded guilty to the charge under the Road Traffic Act. His lawyer requested a probation and welfare report, citing stress and anxiety for his client. The case was adjourned for sentencing, with a possibility of delay due to the Probation Services' workload. Judge Maguire extended sympathies to the Connolly family present in court.
