A driver has appeared before Dún Laoghaire District Court charged with causing the death of cyclist Gretchen Price Martin in Dublin last year.

Oleg Popov (47), of Peyton Court, Rathcoole, Co Dublin, is charged with dangerous driving causing the death of Ms Price Martin at Glenageary Road Upper, Glenageary, on 24 April, 2024.

He is also charged with driving a mechanically propelled vehicle while a known defect made it dangerous to the public on the same date.

Defence counsel, Michael O’Brien BL, told the court that a Romanian interpreter will be required to assist the accused.

Judge Anne Watkin adjourned the matter to 10 February next to allow the book of evidence to be prepared.
