Mum of innocent man mowed down by car will keep up fight for justice

The heartbroken mum of an innocent man killed after a car ploughed into him five years ago has vowed she will never give up the fight for justice.

Grieving Vera Donovan lost her eldest son Stephen Lynch, 31, when he was deliberately mowed down by a car in the Brookview Close estate in Tallaght, South Dublin, on April 13, 2017.
