A grieving mother whose son and his best friend were killed in a crash by a drunk driver has criticised a move seeking special garda permits to allow rural dwellers to drive after consuming two or three pints.

Christina Donnelly’s son was killed by a drunk driver. She is fighting for change, says Rachel Borrill.

ANYONE who heard Christina Donnelly speak during the week about how her life changed when her son Brendan and his friend Lee Salkeld were killed by a drunken driver will agree with more or less any measure designed to make our roads safer.
