Drink-driver jailed after killing ‘good Samaritan’
Witnesses stated that Desmond Collopy, aged 29, was showing off and jerking the steering wheel before he hit 50-year-old Eamon Cronin. Mr Cronin had just crossed the road to try and break up a fight and was almost on the footpath when he was hit.
Mr Cronin, a bank official, was described in court as a good Samaritan, a true gentleman, and the love of his wife’s life.
