A 22-year-old man, Patrick Carroll, is sentenced to four years in prison for a crash in Limerick that kills two friends. The accounts describe that after attending college, Carroll visits pubs and then drives. His vehicle leaves the road and collides with a wall off the N69 in the Drinagh/Fivealley area. The crash kills two passengers: Darragh Dullea, aged 21, from Clonakilty, County Cork, and Cillian Kirwan, aged 19, from Piltown, County Kilkenny. Reports also state that Carroll is from Drinagh, Fivealley, Birr, County Offaly. BreakingNews.ie adds that he is intoxicated at the time of the collision. The Irish Times and BreakingNews.ie both identify the same driver and the same two victims, and both describe the impact into a wall off the N69 as the cause of the fatalities. The two sources differ mainly in how they describe the lead-up to the crash (pubs after college versus specific drinking and local details), but they are consistent on the central facts of the incident and the sentence.
