A man who entered a bus lane before it was permitted, leading to a fatal collision with a pedestrian crossing the road, has been given a suspended sentence for careless driving.
Carl Scully (34) was driving in the bus lane in order to take an upcoming turn when he struck Anthony Hanney (61) as he crossed the road towards his home with his groceries.
Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that Mr Hanney, who was killed instantaneously, was a much-loved father and grandfather. He was described by his son as a good and kind-hearted man.
