Gardaí have renewed their appeal for witnesses following the death of a 92-year-old man after he was hit by a car in a Cork city suburb on Tuesday.
Widower Dan O'Connor from Blackrock was fatally injured when he was struck while crossing the road near Ballintemple Post Office.
Mr O’Connor, who served as sacristan at St Michael’s church in Blackrock, was rushed by ambulance to Cork University Hospital but he died in the early hours of Friday morning.
The driver of the car remained at the scene and spoke to gardaí but officers in Blackrock are anxious to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident which happened at around 2.30pm.
