Daniel Phillips, (35), Crecora Avenue, Ballinacurra/Weston, Limerick, appeared before Limerick Circuit Criminal Court where he admitted one count of dangerous driving causing the death of Maurice Fehilly
A man who survived being shot in the head and chest in a Limerick gun attack, today pleaded guilty in court to causing a motorcyclist’s death by dangerous driving five years ago.
Phillips also pleaded guilty before Judge Sinead McMullan to one count of dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm to Thomas Traynor, at the same location on the same date. In 2012, the convicted gunman, Shane Mason, Sean Hueston Place, Limerick City, was jailed for 16 years after a jury at the Central Criminal Court found him guilty of Phillips’ attempted murder.
After being shot by Mason, Phillips spent a month in a coma in hospital and he had to learn how to walk again at the National Rehabilitation Hospital, Dun Laoghaire. Phillips had thrown a bag containing the gun and bullets from a car that was being pursued by Gardai on the outskirts of Limerick city, on March 26th, 2020.
