'He died like a dog on the street': Parents of Joe Drennan 'disgusted' at killer's sentence

Limerick gangland criminal Kieran Fogarty was sentenced to eight years for firing an illegal firearm and six and a half years for killing student Joe Drennan in October 2023

Joe Drennan, 21, a University of Limerick journalism student, was killed while standing waiting at a bus stop, on October 13, 2023

The family of student hit-and-run victim Joe Drennan said they were “disgusted” by his killer’s sentence of six and half years, after a judge said it would run concurrent to another sentence imposed on the driver for firing an automatic firearm in a separate incident.

Limerick gangland criminal Kieran Fogarty was jailed for eight years for firing the illegal automatic firearm at the front of a house where children played in Limerick City in April 2023.
