A 56-year-old man has taken up High Court bail in relation to charges he faces over a fatal collision in Co Monaghan.

The Romanian national was last month further charged with no insurance and failure to produce in court. He was further remanded on bail in relation to appear before Monaghan District Court on May 11th to await DPP directions in the case.
The consent to bail follows a High Court bail application by the Romanian lorry driver who resides in France. The case is in relation to Gardaí and emergency services attending a collision involving a HGV and a car on the N2 at Mullaghnee, Annalitten, Castleblayney which occurred in December 2025. Emma Mackeral, the driver of the car, was pronounced dead at the scene.
It's alleged that Mr Bucurica drove a vehicle in a manner that was dangerous causing the death of the Co Monaghan woman and he was arrested at the scene.
