Boy, 16, sustained fatal injuries after car collided with wall

A DUBLIN man has been given a three-year suspended sentence, a fine and a 20-year driving ban for dangerous driving causing the death of his friend two years ago.

James Doyle, aged 20, lost control of the car he was driving after leaving a bend in a country road when travelling at a “significant speed.” The car collided with a wall causing Dylan McGrath, aged 16, fatal injuries. Gardaí are satisfied there was no other car involved.

Sergeant Niamh Molloy said both men were wearing seatbelts and no drink or drugs were involved.
