An Armagh man charged with dangerous driving causing the death of five people appeared at Arklow District Court yesterday. Truck driver Mr Victor Teggart (27) of Greenacres, Market Hill, Armagh, was remanded on bail to appear again at Wicklow District Court on November 17th.
Supt Pat Flynn sought a shorter remand to October 20th but an application by the defendant's solicitor, Mr James O'Donohoe, for a longer remand was granted by Judge Donnchadh O Buachalla. Mr O'Donohoe also asked that he be furnished with a copy of the defendant's statement before the next court hearing.
