Man remanded in custody after indicating he would plead guilty to dangerous driving causing death of young mother
A man was remanded in continuing custody on Tuesday after indicating he was willing to plead guilty to a charge of dangerous driving causing the death of a young mother last year. The accused, Danny O'Donoghue (42), Lower Main Street, Rathkeale, appeared before Limerick District Court on Tuesday. Mr O'Donoghue is accused of dangerous driving causing the death of 21-year old Marguerita O'Rourke, née Sheridan, of Roches Row, Rathkeale, on December 21st, 2024, and with causing criminal damage to a set of gates at the same location on the same date. The court heard that Mr O'Donoghue is also charged with threatening to kill or cause serious harm to a Patrick Sheridan; producing a machete during the course of making the alleged threat to Mr Sheridan; and causing criminal damage to Mr Sheridan's van, all on the same date, in Rathkeale. READ MORE Marguerita O'Rourke had given birth to her first child four weeks prior to her death, which occurred after she sustained serious injuries at Bank Place, Rathkeale. Mr O'Donoghue's solicitor, Michael O'Donnell, told the court Mr O'Donoghue had previously indicated he was 'prepared to offer a signed plea to dangerous driving causing death, and that is still his position'. Mr O'Donnell said Mr O'Donoghue was 'awaiting a book of evidence' in respect of the other charges, indicating the accused was planning on contesting these charges. Mr O'Donoghue has not sought bail and has been held on remand in custody since his arrest last December. Prosecuting sergeant Denis Waters, Roxboro Road Garda station, applied for and was granted a four-week adjournment, by consent. Judge Áine Clancy also granted the State a time extension on the service of a book of evidence should one be required. The judge remanded Mr O'Donoghue in continuing custody to appear before Limerick District Court, via video link, for further directions in the case, on June 10th. Ms O'Rourke and her husband, Denis, celebrated the birth of their first child together, a son, last November.

The couple told MailOnline: "We're over the moon to be married and now we take the first steps on the journey of the rest of our lives together!" Danny and Anais have been together for five years after meeting by chance in London during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Irish singer revealed that his partner had received his mother's approval when they made their red carpet debut together at the Pride of Britain Awards in 2021. He said at the time: "We actually live in the same part of London, and up until now we've mainly just been hanging out at home. My mum loved her, and offered her lots of tea." Danny proposed to Anais when the pair holidayed in Norway last year and explained that he had to keep his romantic gesture a secret as the pair climbed up a mountain. 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved' artist said: "We hiked up to the top of a mountain to face the most beautiful waterfall in the world, The Seven Sisters. It's our favourite place on Earth.

"She's great. I met her during Covid and if you've been with anybody through Covid it's like you compress ten years into these years. "You learn everything, all the good bits, mostly the bad bits, and if you get through those moments... I don't know if it's a rite of passage, if you've made it through those few years then you know." O'Donoghue previously revealed that he went "off the rails" following the death of his bandmate Mark Sheehan, who passed away aged 46 in 2023 following a short illness. He told Virgin Media One's 'Six O'Clock Show': "I went off the rails after Mark passed. I went heavy on drinking, smoking and eating c*** food, really went off the rails. "I had writers block, a mental block because I could not articulate what was going on because everything comes into question, not just should we carry on as a band, but is there a God? Why? There is no answers to these questions."
