Registration plate from suspected hit and run vehicle found at scene

A registration plate from the suspected vehicle involved in a fatal hit-and-run which left a popular GAA coach dead was discovered at the scene, we can reveal.

Mr MacEneaney, who managed Termonfeckin club St Fechin’s to the last two Louth senior hiring championship titles, was found unresponsive shortly after 2.40am on the Rathmullen Road in Drogheda, Co Louth and was pronounced dead following the arrival of emergency services. CCTV is currently being examined by investigators as part of the probe into the horror incident. A ‘vehicle of interest’ was later recovered and investigators are working to determine if the garda, who is based in the northwest region, was driving the car at the time of the collision.

The Garda Ombudsman Commission opened up an investigation due to the involvement of a garda in the incident and continues to appeal for witnesses.
