The partner of a motorcyclist whose death was caused by the dangerous driving of a van driver at a junction near Rathcormac, Co Cork, described it yesterday as “a stupid waste of a young man’s life”.

Daniel Kelly, aged 54, of 3 Hillside, Rostellan, Midleton, Co Cork, was found guilty by a jury of dangerous driving on July 28, 2017, at Bridgelands East, Rathcormac, causing the death of Patrick O’Keefe. He had already admitted the lesser charge of careless driving causing death.
