Gardaí at Clonmel station are investigating hit and run incident, which resulted in the death of Maurice Ivers, that occurred in the early hours on the 16th April 1983.

On the evening of Friday 15th April 1983, Maurice went out socialising with friends in Killenaule before getting a lift to the Clonmel Arms. A friend brought Maurice and others back to Fethard, but had run out of fuel so was unable to bring them all the way home. The group separated in Fethard and made their journeys home. Maurice had a 11km walk back to Killenaule. His body was discovered at the side of the road, at 4:30am on the 16th April 1983, approximately 5km away, close to Coolmore Stud.
