A second teenager has been arrested in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in Baldoyle, Co Dublin, last July.
The incident occurred on the coast road in the early hours of July 17th.
Michael ‘Mikey’ Farrelly, who was in his 40s, was knocked down by a car, which failed to remain at the scene, gardaí said in a statement at the time. Mr Farrelly had been out with family on the night of the incident and was struck and killed at about 1am while walking home alone.
A man in his late teens was arrested in early September in connection with the incident.
