The deceased, Johnny Foley, from Togher in Cork City had been a front-seat passenger in the car

A car had allegedly been driven the wrong way down a motorway at Ballybeg in Mitchelstown when it collided with another car in the early hours of Saturday, July 1.

A 17-year-old charged in connection with a deadly crash on the M8 motorway in which a teenager was killed this summer is to plead guilty to five charges, his solicitor indicated in Mallow District Court.

The boy, who cannot be named as he is a juvenile, had been charged with 12 offences following the head-on collision near Mitchelstown, including a charge related to the death of Johnny Foley, 16, from Togher in Cork.
