The incident occurred early in the morning of Sunday, June 26, 2011.
Tomorrow will mark the 14th anniversary of the young man’s passing.
Traynor had been walking home from a night out in Castleblayney when he was struck by the car.
The driver of the car did not stop driving and fled the scene.
Gardai believe that the vehicle was an Audi A4 with a 1996 to 2001 model.

They said that people may now feel more comfortable in coming forward with information.
