Cork man loses dangerous driving appeal after causing deaths of teenagers

A Cork man has failed in an appeal against his conviction and six-year sentence for dangerous driving causing the death of two teenagers.

In December 2010, Philip Murphy (aged 43) with a last address at Killala Gardens, Knocknaheeny, was jailed for six years by Judge Patrick Moran having been convicted by a Cork Circuit Criminal Court jury of dangerous driving causing the death of CJ Dolan (aged 16), and Derry O’Callaghan (aged 19) on Harbour View Road, Cork on May 13, 2010.
