A man has gone on trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court in connection with the death of a man who was dragged under a limousine two years ago.

Dara O’Sullivan (21), Clonard Road, Dundrum, was sitting in the driver’s seat of the stationary vehicle when Liam Stafford (28), on the way home from a night out, climbed on top of it.

The court heard that the car then moved forward and Mr Stafford fell off and was dragged under the wheels.

Mr O’Sullivan has pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving causing the death of Mr Stafford at Clonard Lawns, Sandyford, on November 8th, 2009. He also pleads not guilty to not having a valid licence and not having insurance.
