A man is due to appear in court on Thursday charged in connection with a fatal hit and run collision, after which a man died, in Limerick city last Tuesday.
The deceased man was named locally as James Forde, who was in his 50s, from Shannamore Park, Clareview, Limerick city.
Mr Forde, who was walking at Ennis Road, died when a car struck him shortly before 2pm.
Mr Forde later died at University Hospital Limerick. “A special thanks to the dedicated care of the first responders, gardaí and the staff of accident department and ICU at University Hospital Limerick,” read a family death notice published Wednesday.
