Limerick man pleads guilty to dangerous driving causing death of his niece Marguerita O'Rourke

A MAN PLEADED guilty before a court today to dangerous driving causing the death of his niece, Marguerita O'Rourke, and to producing a machete on the same day. Danny O'Donoghue, (42), Lower Main Street, Rathkeale, Co Limerick, admitted the offences when he appeared before Limerick Circuit Criminal Court. Mr O'Donoghue, appeared before the court via a video-link from Portlaoise Prison, where he is currently being held on remand. He admitted one count of dangerous driving causing the death of his niece, Marguerita O'Rourke, née Sheridan, at Bank Place, Rathkeale, on 21 December, 2024. Ms O'Rourke née Sheridan, of Roches Row, Rathkeale, had given birth to her first child, a son, three weeks prior to her death. The young mother had been closing steel gates to a property when Mr O'Donoghue struck the gates, killing her. Mr O'Donoghue's barrister, senior counsel Michael Bowman, instructed by solicitor Michael O'Donnell, told the court: 'The tragic deceased was actually the niece of the accused.' Judge Colin Daly said it was a 'sad case indeed'. The judge said, given the 'sensitive' nature of the case he was directing that Mr O'Donoghue's sentencing hearing would be scheduled on its own. 'There is some sensitivity to this and I believe Mr O'Donoghue's sentence hearing would benefit from an afternoon to itself, the evidence is likely to take some time, possibly an hour,' the judge said. Prosecuting barrister, Lily Buckley BL, told the court: 'The deceased was 21 years of age and her husband is currently in the United Kingdom. 'Victim impact statements will have to be canvassed, the deceased's parents John Sheridan and Margaret Sheridan will have to be canvassed, and (Ms O'Rourke née Sheridan) had one brother and a three-week old child at the time.' Advertisement Mr O'Donoghue also pleaded guilty to causing criminal damage to the set of gates, the property of Mary Teresa O'Rourke, arising out of the same fatal incident last December. He also pleaded guilty to producing a machete during the course of a dispute and causing criminal damage to a silver Ford Transit Custom van, the property of Patrick Sheridan, on the same date. Mr O'Donoghue was also facing a fifth offence that he did threaten to kill or cause serious harm to Patrick Sheridan, on the same date. Lily Buckley told the court that Mr O'Donoghue was pleading guilty to the four other offences outlined 'without prejudice'. Mr O'Donoghue has not sought bail since he was arrested and held in custody on remand last December. A few weeks prior to her death, Ms O'Rourke and her husband, Denis, had celebrated the birth of their first child. Thousands of people attended a candle lit vigil at Rathkeale, last Christmas Eve following Ms O'Rourke, née Sheridan's, death. Blown up photographs of the deceased dressed in her wedding dress were erected in and around St Mary's Church, Rathkeale, during her funeral mass. Her remains were brought in a glass carriage drawn by horses to her final resting place at Rathkeale Cemetery. In an online tribute to his late daughter, John Sheridan described Ms O'Rourke, née Sheridan, as 'a true legend' who loved 'horses'. The deceased's brother Freddy Sheridan stated: 'It's never going to be the same without you, Maggie, but you left us a very special boy, I know his mama should be here with him, but unfortunately life didn't go that way.' 'Rest in Peace Marguerita, I can't believe I had to say it, love you my sister.' In court today Mr O'Donoghue's barrister successfully applied for a pre-sentencing report from the Governor of Portlaoise Prison as well as an Prison educational report in respect of the accused. Judge Colin Daly remanded Mr O'Donoghue in continuing custody for sentencing on 29 October. Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...
