A YOUNG man who was accused of deliberately ‘swerving’ at a young child while driving at speed on a busy street was acquitted of road traffic offences.
Danny Harty, aged 21, of Geitne Close, Askeaton was prosecuted in relation to an incident at The Quay, Askeaton on May 15, 2019.
During a contested hearing at Newcastle West Court, Judge Patrick Durcan was told the incident happened at around 5.30pm and that there was a background involving several members of the same extended family.
Christina Kett, a first cousin of the defendant, said she was sitting outside another relative’s house when she saw Mr Harty driving up and down in a Volkswagen Golf.
