GARDAÍ are preparing a file for the DPP in connection with an accident in which a young Clarecastle man suffered serious injuries.
19-year-old Aaron Considine sustained multiple injuries in an incident at College View on the Clonroadmore in Ennis in the early hours of last Monday, after he was involved in an accident while out walking.
Aaron, who has played minor hurling and intermediate football for Clare – along with representing his club Clarecastle at senior hurling level in recent years – has undergone surgery since the accident and is currently in Tallaght Hospital.
The community of Clarecastle has rallied behind his family during the past week. Large crowds attended a special Mass at St Peter and Paul’s Church, Clarecastle, last Friday morning, where prayers were said wishing him well in his recovery.
As part of the investigation, gardaí have spoken to a number of witnesses who were in the vicinity of the accident, while forensic examinations have been carried out. A 19-year-old man has been questioned in relation to the incident, while a car has been taken for examination.
A file is being prepared for the DPP and this will be submitted within weeks by investigators.
