Nicole Fallon Charged in Fatal Hit-and-Run of Dublin Couple

BREAKING: Nicole Fallon, a 35-year-old woman from Blanchardstown, Dublin, has been charged in connection with the tragic road deaths of married couple Anthony Hogg, 40, and Georgina Hogg Moore, 39, who were fatally struck on December 26, 2024. This urgent development comes as authorities intensify their investigation into the hit-and-run incident that has shocked the local community.

The couple was crossing a road near Blanchardstown Shopping Centre at approximately 5:45 PM when the collision occurred. Both Anthony and Georgina, beloved parents, were pronounced dead at the scene, leaving their family and friends devastated.

Fallon, who appeared in Blanchardstown District Court on Tuesday, faces serious charges including impeding the apprehension of a driver involved in the incident. She is accused of acting with intent to obstruct justice relating to John Halpin, a 45-year-old man already facing charges of dangerous driving causing the couple’s deaths and failing to assist them after the crash.

According to Detective Garda Niamh Crowe, Fallon allegedly committed acts to impede the prosecution of Halpin, knowing he was involved in the fatal incident. The court heard that both Fallon and Halpin will stand trial in the circuit court, as the allegations are deemed too severe for the district court.

Garda Shane Wood also reported new charges against Halpin, including failing to stop and assist the victims, further complicating the ongoing investigation. The seriousness of these charges highlights the urgent need for accountability in this tragic case.

Judge David McHugh has adjourned proceedings until September for the service of the book of evidence, allowing time for the legal process to unfold. Both defendants have not yet indicated how they plan to plead.

This developing story raises critical questions around road safety and justice for victims. Families and communities are left mourning the loss of the Hoggs, emphasizing the human impact of such tragedies.

As this case progresses, many are watching closely to see how justice will be served. Authorities urge anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward.
