BREAKING: Mary Lowry remanded on continuing bail for allegedly causing death of motorcyclist

Tipperary woman Mary Lowry has been remanded on continuing bail, charged in connection with a road traffic collision which claimed the life of a motorcyclist.

Ms Lowry, 56, with an address at Green Road, Dundrum, was not present when the case, brought by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), was called on Wednesday, before judge Colm Roberts, at Tipperary District Court sitting in Nenagh.

Ms Lowry is charged with one count of careless driving causing the death of Patrick Connolly, 51, of Skehennarinky on December 28, 2021, at Springhouse, Bansha.

It is alleged that she drove a vehicle “without due care and attention thereby causing the death of another person, namely Patrick Connolly”.

The case was initially brought before Thurles District Court on November 16, 2022.

Sgt Cathal Godfrey, Tipperary Garda Station, told the court that the Book of Evidence in the case was not yet completed.

Ms Lowry’s solicitor, Colin Morrisey, consented to a four-week adjournment to allow the completion of the book.

Ms Lowry has yet to indicate a plea.

Judge Roberts remanded Ms Lowry on continuing bail to February 22 for service of the Book of Evidence.
