€130k for boy whose mum died in car crash

A 10-year-old boy whose father was convicted of drink driving following a car crash in which his mother was killed has been awarded over €130,000.

Dara Conway, son of Kerry ex-hurler Michael Conway, will receive the majority of a €165,000 settlement approved by the High Court in Limerick yesterday.

In September 2011, Mr Conway was fined €400 and disqualified from driving for two years after he admitted drink driving following a crash on the Lixnaw to Abbeydorney Rd in Kerry on October 14, 2010.
