A former Garda is jailed for six years after pleading guilty to dangerous driving causing the death of a man in Drogheda. The case relates to a fatal hit-and-run that occurred two years ago, resulting in the death of 45-year-old Niall MacEneaney. According to reports, Michael Ball admitted the offence and was convicted based on his guilty plea. He is sentenced to six years in prison for dangerous driving causing death. The incident takes place in Drogheda and involves a vehicle crash in which the victim died. The court records cited by outlets indicate Ball’s admission of dangerous driving and the link between the driving and the fatal outcome. The sentence reflects the seriousness of the charge and the fatal result. No alternative versions of events are presented in the available reports, which both focus on the conviction following Ball’s guilty plea and the six-year term imposed by the court.
