Hit-and-run driver who caused death of boy (14) wants license restored
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Ruadhan Tracey (44) of Lagore Green, Dunshaughlin, Meath, received a 20-month jail sentence in 2014 after he pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to careless driving causing the death of Conor Hickey at Faussagh Road, in Cabra, on December 2, 2011. At that 2014 sentence hearing, then Judge Mary Ellen Ring said she was bound by legislation before she imposed the prison term and disqualified Tracey from driving for 20 years.; Judge Crowe adjourned the case to February 3, next and asked Mr Le Vert to open the relevant case law before the court on that date.
