Eimear Dodd and Jessica MageeA man who struck a three-year-old with his car has been jailed for two years and banned from driving for 15 years. Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that Hlatshwayo was the driver of a car which knocked over a three-year-old on his bike, who had been crossing from kerb to kerb, with his parents. The child was taken to hospital with fractures to his leg and ankle and required emergency surgery and pins inserted into his leg. “This was a mistake that was made on an ongoing basis, to keep getting back into the car,” said the judge. Judge Duffy wished the child’s family well and expressed the hope that he would continue to do well and recover.
