A suspect has been charged in connection with a tragic hit-and-run incident that occurred in Blanchardstown, Dublin last December. The woman, in her 30s, was taken into custody recently and is scheduled to appear in court next week. Meanwhile, a 40-year-old man who was also arrested has been released without charges. The case will now be reviewed by the Director of Public Prosecutions.

The incident involved Georgina Hogg Moore, 39, and her husband Anthony (Anto) Hogg, 40, who were struck by a vehicle near the Blanchardstown Centre. Tragically, Ms. Hogg Moore was pronounced dead at the scene, while Mr. Hogg succumbed to his injuries at Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown. Fortunately, other pedestrians involved in the incident were unharmed.

Following the incident, a 45-year-old man named John Halpin from Whitestown Avenue in Blanchardstown was charged with multiple offenses, including two counts of dangerous driving causing death, during a court hearing on December 30, 2024.
