A preliminary hearing into the deaths of three men who were killed when their vehicle was in a head-on collision with a truck while driving on the wrong side of the N7 in Dublin last year was adjourned following objections from a lawyer representing one of the families.

The three men — Dean Maguire, 29, Karl Freeman, 26, and Graham Taylor, 31, all from Tallaght — died when their BMW vehicle burst into flames following a high-speed crash with a truck on the N7 between Citywest and Baldonnell on July 7, 2021, while they were fleeing from gardaí.
