2017 Dublin car strike ruled unlawful killing, no charges due to insufficient evidence and intimidation.

The Dublin District Coroner's Court ruled Stephen Lynch's death in 2017 as unlawful killing after he was struck by a car, but no charges have been filed. Witness cooperation has been hindered by intimidation from local criminals during a recent cold case review. Although new evidence emerged, both the Gardaí and the Director of Public Prosecutions deemed it insufficient to charge anyone with murder, as they could not confirm the driver's intent.
