Longer sentence for dangerous driver welcomed

THE decision by the Court of Appeal yesterday to find that the sentence imposed on a man whose dangerous driving caused eight deaths was too lenient will be widely welcomed.

Shaun Kelly, aged 27, of Hill Rd, Ballymagan, Buncrana, Co Donegal, had originally been sentenced to four years in jail with the final two suspended.

He was to serve two years even though he was responsible for eight deaths.
