Lethal car culture must be changed

It would take a heart of stone not to be moved by the victim impact statement (page 9) made by Margaret Sheehan at the circuit criminal court in Cork yesterday.

She was speaking at the conclusion of the case which followed the death of her son in a car driven by Paddy Buckley, 23, Millstreet, Co Cork.

Buckley, Keith Sheehan and a third man had been drinking all day before the fatal crash.
