A MAN has been charged and will appear before a special sitting of Limerick District Court this evening, Christmas Eve, in connection with a fatal hit and run incident.

Gardaí confirmed this evening that they had charged a man, described as being in his 40s, in connection with the fatal hit and run incident that killed young mother of one Marguerita Sheridan.

A vigil was held in her honour this evening in the County Limerick town with hundreds turning out to pay their respects.

The man, charged in connection with her tragic death, will appear before a sitting of the Limerick District Court this evening around 7pm.
