Well said Donna. Xx

Sorry for your loss Donna it’s a horrible thing to happen any family. I don’t think the comments about drivers are directed at James but more general comments about driving in Ireland in general. I for one who am passionate about driving do not want to upset you or your family so I’ll refrain from further comments on this page.

well said Donna, Shocked at some of them comments, why can’t people jus keep their opinions to themselves, thinkin of you all, James was such a nice young fella….. xx

rest in peace james well said donna my prayers are wit ur family

Ya can’t blame them if they were chasing him either, that’s they’re job.

On the beat. You’re a funny guy. We have more gardai per head of population than most European countries. Try a different argument and come back to me.

Think you’ll find your wrong there Simon the most recent study for worldwide police per capita shows Ireland has less than most developed countries and that’s using figures for 2006 for Ireland. As you should be aware these numbers have significantly reduced since 2006 which puts Ireland even further behind

Road conditions and signage my arse… Boy racers that don’t have a licence driving like lunatics- simple

@Gavin:

Licence age = 17 Driver = 21
Why do you speculate the driver was not in possession of a full licence with 4 years driving experience? Was there another article or report that wasn’t mentioned we should know about?

Also what exactly is a “boy racer”, and why do you think they were somehow involved here?

Also, it’s good to know that your expertise in road conditions have been truly put to good use to consider that they were not at all involved from your extensive knowledge of the area, analysis of both day and night time conditions, surveying road users and testing them yourself, concluding them to be in fact your arse and therefore despite shortcomings, safe for users?

Tobias, Gavin is allowed to assume things just as much as you are. Was the person local? If he was the he would know the road so your argument is void.

@johnny: there’s a huge difference between assumption and accusation, Gavin was making the latter on bias.

Also, it is unknown whether he is local, so we can only assume. So, if you are going to go on assumption only it is just as likely he is not local, as it as likely that he is. However, regardless, being local does not void the argument of poor road conditions. Therefore your retort is void.

Why the f*** do you bash the guards when there is a fatality in this proxy country…. Everyday and I Mean EVERDAY, there are 5 to 10 teenagers speeding around the country roads where I live… Simple solution.. Do not let ANYONE drive a vehicle until you have passed your test… also . Get the garda reserve out in their drives with speed cameras for 6 months , catch thousands of speedsters , fine the shite outta them, this will put a halt to their reckless ways… Well, for a while.

Ah simon did some big naughty policeman put manners on you in the past and this is your big brave way of bad mouthing them. Maybe you should go into a station and tell them they’re shite

you shouldn’t be making any assumptions like that! if it was your son/nephew/cousin that died in similar circumstances i bet you’d change your tune!

@ Keith. Free country. It’s fair to surmise. I wound think the same for any young male, myself twenty years ago included.
