Man Charged With Manslaughter Following Bus Death

A man has been charged with manslaughter following the death of a man who was struck by a bus in Dublin last Thursday.

Edward Connors, 29, who is profoundly deaf, has been charged with the manslaughter of Eoghan Dudley.

Connors appeared in the city's District Court today where the proceedings were translated via sign language.

His solicitor Cahir O'Higgins applied to the court for free legal aid, and for medical and interpretation services to be provided to him while he is on remand.

The judge granted both of the applications.

Mr Connors was remanded in custody and he is to appear in court on 13th December.
