Singer to be jailed if he fails to finish community service

A 31-year-old country and western singer who uses a wheelchair faces jail if he does not complete a community service sentence or get a medical report as to why he cannot do it.

Daniel Coyle was jailed for four years and disqualified from driving for 20 years after pleading guilty to dangerous driving causing the death of his cousin Hugh Donegan in 2009.

However, his jail term was substituted for 240 hours community service by Judge John O’Hagan following a case at Letterkenny Circuit Court in 2012.
