On Monday, gardai said the arrested man had been charged. He is due to appear before the District Court sitting in Carrick-on-Shannon at 10.30 am today for a first remand hearing.

Gardaí and emergency services were alerted that a child was hit by a vehicle on Atlantic Way, Bundoran.

Gardai said the vehicle failed to remain at the scene of the collision.

Ronan was pronounced deceased at the scene a short time later.

The road on which Ronan was struck is close to a fairground, swimming pool, caravan park and holiday apartments and was near an access road to the beach.

Ronan’s body was removed to the mortuary at Sligo Hospital.

Ronan’s father Dean Wilson said the family “will never be the same” following the child’s death.

“I never thought I’d be saying this but I’ve lost my wee Roro; my main man, my hero and son,” he posted on his Facebook page.

“I love him so much , he’s been taken from us by a hit-and-run driver. We will never be the same without you, we can’t cope. I’m broken.

“Roro was the best son anyone could ask for. Nine years of pure pleasure.

“Rest in peace my son and best friend. Love you forever. From Daddy, Mummy, Calum and Amy and all our surrounding family and friends.

“We love you Ronan.”
