A man pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing the death of Marguerita O'Rourke in Rathkeale, Co Limerick, in December 2024. Danny O’Donoghue, 42, admitted the offences in Limerick Circuit Criminal Court. He struck Marguerita with his vehicle while she was closing gates, resulting in her death. Marguerita, 21, had recently become a mother. O’Donoghue also admitted to other related offences, including producing a machete and causing damage to property.
