Appeal launched for information in relation to hit and run death of Stephen Lynch in Tallaght

An appeal has been launched for information relating to a hit and run incident in Tallaght over two years ago that left one man dead.

Stephen Lynch was mowed down while he was walking in Brookview Close on Thursday, 13 April 2017.

He was deliberately struck by the driver of a Ford Focus, registration 10 WW 1812.

Both the driver and at least one passenger fled the scene on foot and, to date, have not been identified.

Crimestoppers and gardai are appealing for members of the public to come forward with any information relating to the murder.

Superintendent Ian Lackey of Tallaght Garda Station said: “I would appeal to anyone who has even the smallest piece of information to come forward.

"I particularly appeal to those in the Brookview Close area of Tallaght.

"Can you help us positively identify the driver of this vehicle that fatally struck Stephen Lynch on 6.50pm on Thursday, April 2017?

"Although some time has passed, any information you have which may seem insignificant to you might help with the investigation.

"If a member of the public prefers to give the information without identifying themselves, they can call Crimestoppers on 1800 25 00 25.”

"The ability to give information anonymously can be an important incentive and could help solve a case and secure a conviction. 

"I would appeal to anyone with any information in relation to this case to get in contact.”

Crimestoppers Chairman John Murphy added: “Members of the public can call Crimestoppers with potentially valuable information about any crime without leaving their name or personal details.
