Man charged in relation to suspected hit-and-run near Dublin train station

A MAN has been charged with dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm following a suspected hit-and-run in Dublin yesterday.

Paul Connolly, 37, of Cregg Court, Robertstown in Co. Kildare, appeared before Dublin District Court in relation to the incident outside Coolmine Railway Station, Blanchardstown.

He was charged with dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm to Francis Dhala, 19, and Michael Igoe, 54.

The two men were taken by ambulance to Connolly Hospital where Mr Dhala is believed to be in a critical condition.

A female pedestrian also sustained minor injuries.

Connolly has also been charged with failing to keep his vehicle at the scene.

The court heard there were two bench warrants outstanding against him at the time of his arrest.

Gardaí objected to bail and Judge Alan Mitchell remanded Connolly in custody to appear before Cloverhill District Court next Tuesday.
