Road is closed so might see impact on traffic in the suburbs but if anyone was on the road last night then the guards are looking for dashcam fotoage.

Heard this on the news, barely gets mentioned but someone leaves a woman in her 50s dead at the side of the road and no one really bats an eyelid. It's just horrific. Jail and lifetime ban if they ever find the f*cker.

Poor woman, RIP.

Gardaí are appealing for infomation about the hit and run driver.

Do you know of a 2004 to 2007 model Toyota Corolla which has sustained damage since Wednesday evening.

Woman charged in court today for the hit and run offence. Woman in her 50s with address in clonboo corundulla. XXXXX( unsure of spelling of surname). Due back in court again on 4th Jan.

Some solace for the victims family that the perpetrator has been caught and hope she gets a lengthy sentence for the offence.

Do you have a link for that? I had a quick look on Galway Bay FM, Tribune and Advertiser websites but can't see anything about it

If it's a female, she won't.

155 odd spaces for females in prison. Consider how many are serving murder sentences and theres a revolving door for the rest of them.

Be lucky if she receives a token sentence and she'll be given temporary release early enough into the paltry sentence she receives.
