He is charged with intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to the alleged victim at Railway Street on June 23. Daniel Rostas has been charged in connection with the fatal hit-and-run. A MAN has been charged following the death of a father-of-three who was struck by a car as he stood on a footpath in north county Dublin earlier this week. Daniel Rostas (41) appeared in Dublin District Court today accused of causing serious harm to Mircea Rostas (33) who died after a collision in Balbriggan on Monday night. He was remanded in custody for DPP directions after no bail application was made on his behalf. Mr Rostas, with an address at Hastings Green, Balbriggan is charged with intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to the alleged victim at Railway Street on June 23. Mircea Rostas Detective Garda John Delaney told Judge Michele Finan he arrested the accused for the purpose of charging him at Balbriggan station at 1.12am this morning. He made no reply after caution and was handed a copy of the charge sheet. Det Gda Delaney said he would be objecting to bail but defence solicitor Sandra Frayne said the accused was not making a bail application today. Daniel Rostas has been charged in connection with the fatal hit-and-run. News in 90 Seconds - June 26th 'I will be applying for bail in the future,' she said, adding that she would notify the gardai in advance. Judge Finan granted free legal aid at the request of the defence after hearing the accused was 'not a man of means' and was in receipt of disability allowance. Ms Frayne handed a statement of her client's financial means in to court. Judge Finan asked if the accused wished to make his next court appearance by video link but Ms Frayne asked if it could be 'in person, if that's alright.' The judge also recommended the accused should receive appropriate medical care while in custody. Mr Rostas, wearing a black and grey North Face jacket, light grey tracksuit bottoms and black and white runners, was assisted by a Romanian interpreter and the court heard he had 'very limited English.' He was not required to address the court during the brief hearing and has not yet entered a plea to the charge, which is under Section 4 of the Non Fatal Offences Against the Person Act. He was remanded in custody to appear in Cloverhill District Court on July 3. Gardai have said Mircea Rostas was struck by a car as he stood on a footpath on Monday night. Emergency services were alerted to reports of a road traffic collision and found him seriously injured on the ground. He was treated by paramedics at the scene, but died a short time later. Gardaí have appealed for witnesses and any dashcam footage. They also asked people not to share a graphic video showing the immediate aftermath of the collision. The footage, posted online, shows Mr Rostas lying motionless on the ground while a bystander attempts CPR. Family members are seen becoming distressed after arriving on the scene.
