A judge has described as"every parent's worst nightmare" the circumstances of a crash that resulted in the deaths of two teenagers in Co Galway last year.
He further admitted charges of driving without insurance and the use of a mechanically propelled vehicle without the consent of its owner, Christy Bohan. A now 15-year-old girl, who survived the crash, suffered what were described in court as extensive injuries. Gda Hallinan said that it was dark at the time of the incident, conditions were described as wet, and there were showers in the vicinity of the scene.
Gda Hallinan said that phone messages indicated Kirsty Bohan waited for her father to leave for work before driving the Volkswagen Passat to meet the others. The girl who survived the crash was the only member of the group who did not drive the car on the morning in question. "The morning that I got the phone call that he passed away. I couldn't believe it." he said."That week was very hard. It was very hard that night without him at home."
She said:"I miss Kirsty and Lucas so much. That night, we made the biggest mistake in going out. None of us meant for anyone to get hurt. Kirsty and Lucas lost their lives. So many people's lives have been destroyed as a result of us going out that night. I live with the consequences of that night every day."
"It is significant in my submission that this escapade had a certain innocence to it. When they got to Kirsty's house, they ate ice creams. They played a TikTok video. They were messing with a chair.
