Cyclist killed by hit-and-run driver, who should have been in prison, was “highly negligent” and “partly responsible” for fatal crash, says judge Shane O’Farrell’s family say the report “blames him for his own death” and has “retraumatised” them cycling
The family of a cyclist killed by a hit-and-run driver, who should have been in prison at the time of the fatal crash, have hit out at a judge’s report into the incident, which claimed that the rider was at least “partly responsible” for his own death.
In the year before the crash, Gridziuska received a six-month prison sentence, which he never served due to a Courts Service administration error. In 2018, after the Dáil voted for a public inquiry into the case, the Department of Justice instead appointed a retired judge, Gerard Haughton, to report on whether further inquiries were necessary.
> Motorists blame crash victim Dan Walker for not riding on underpass cycle lane – described by locals as “filled with broken glass” While Judge Haughton refused to provide a comment to RTÉ, the final report includes a response from him to a letter from the family’s solicitors which complained about the judge’s references to O’Farrell.
She also said that the family feel they are now “worse off” than when they initially began to campaign for justice for Shane’s death.
