I feel for you man.........really sorry to hear about your loss. You dont have the reg and make of car do you? seeing as the gards were chasing it.

I don't know which emotion is uppermost at the moment, this lovely young girl was well known to my family.
At the risk of incurring the wrath of the bleeding hearts that proliferate on these forums, I too hope you get to them first. Summary justice is preferable to no justice.

Drummerboy08

+1 to that.

Sorry to hear that OP, hopefully these scumbags will be caught very soon.

PandyAndy

Sorry to hear that, James. Hope the fúckin scumbags get what they deserve.

Pity they weren't in the car when it was burning,scumbags.

Was very sorry to hear this, didn't know the girl myself but have friends who did. Couldn't believe it when I was told, absolute tragedy.

Hope it's eating the scum up inside and they will be put away for a very long time when they're caught.

Saw it on the news this morning. Very sad and I'm sorry for your loss. I was out last night with my 18yr old and left him to finish the night with his friends. I can't imagine how it would feel to get that call to the door.

RIP

This is such a sad story. It has really affected the whole town of Gorey. Has there been any advances in catching who it was that did it? I really hope they get caught and thrown into prison.
My sympathies are with you and your family.

A man in his 30s has been arrested by Gardai in Gorey: http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/1025/gorey.html

Truly sorry for your loss. It's an absolute disgrace and I hope those responsible face the full rigour of the law. It just keeps getting worse and worse in this country.

If found guilty of a crime like this, a mandatory driving ban for life should be the minimum result.

gossipgal08

I hope those responsible face the full rigour of the law.

Try a slap on the wrist. My money is on pleading drunk driving. Dont understand why the State is not harder on dd. If a person chooses to get drunk they should be held accountable for what they do when they are drunk.

timmywex

Very sad that this would happen to someone totally innocent, scum whoever it was im sure!

Just to clarify, the car wasnt being chased by the guards at the time, but they were in the area.....as they naturally would be at that hour of a saturday night!:cool:

Mandatory driving ban me ****. Life in jail would be more like it.

My condolences to her family and her friends; a beautiful young life taken.

so where the gaurds chasing them or not because i know of at least 3 cases where the gardai were not chasing a car that was involved in a fatal accident but where in the area and where first on the scene and witness saw them behind the car maybe the gardai like to think they are like starsky and hutch only in a focus

the case was referred to the Garda Ombudsman and it has been determined that they were not chasing the car at the time. So no Starsky and Hutch impersonations :rolleyes:

well done for managing to abuse the Garda for doing their job well and introducing your own silly little mindset to a thread about a tragedy.

My sympathies to your family on your loss.

old_aussie

James,
very sorry to hear about your loss. Tragic that a young life be taken.

geespot

this tragedy has happened what about avoiding the next one and having some sort of assesment of even a flicker of intelligence when recruiting gardai

Yea clearly it was the fault of the Gardai and not the scumbag that was driving and left the scene, maybe they should get their crystal ball fixed :rolleyes:
Very sorry for your loss may she rest in peace.

Yeah but we all know niether will happen since the legislation isn't there for the driving ban and the legal precedent for a life sentence in a hit and run case isn't there so rather it will most likely be put down as manslaughter.

Obviously I wasn't there, but I'm at a loss for how people are blaming the Gardai for this tragedy?

Murtinho

even if the Gardai were pursuing the culprit it can hardly be there fault, only 1 person to blame here.

Kristopherus

You can get Life for manslaughter. That scumbag in Sligo got for killing that young girl. Deepest sympathy to the Family & Friends of that young woman. Unfortunately they have now got a life sentence.

Gregsor

Awful news to hear and i was dumbstruck at the mindlessness of it all,it;s scary that people just put no value on life anymore.
Poor girl coming to her prime and full of life,my thoughts are with the family and her friends,terrible .

To be fair to that poster even though news articles are saying the Gardai were not chasing the car, talk in the area that they were chasing it is still persisting.

At the end of the day though, it wasn't the Garda that hit this poor girl.

But it would be very unusual and very dependent on a range of circumstances.

As has been said there's only one person to blame.

May Kelly rest in peace.
My heart goes out to her mother and sisters too as their father passed away 2 years ago, in my prayers.

Hopefully the driver will do the decent thing and own up.

Ah I knew her, she was a lovely girl, really chatty and easy going.

Thoughts go out to all friends and family

timmywex

Ah here lads, the gards werent chasing the car. Can we leave it at that, they were in the area of the biggest nightclub in Gorey, near the garda station at 2.30 of a sunday morning on a bank holiday weekend, of course theyd be there!

What matters is somemone died!

Mahatma coat

That horid.

As for the lack of a Precedent for Life in Prison in cases like this.

Why not start a public campaign with the Local Radio and Newspapers

DEMANDING

That this Ignorant GobSh1te be Convicted for Life,

1) HE Killed Someone
2) He displayed a shockin disregard for Human life by Driving off
3) Being Drunk is not an Excuse, if anything its Worse, it demonstrates an utter contempt for even the most basic of Laws and the people who Abide by them.

lolli

R.I.P Kelly

Too many young people losing their lives in the locality

james1410

thank you every one! just to mention about the gards they seem to be doing there best to find who is responsible for this! but what i cant under stand is how they managed to loose him/her when i was told by withnesses that there was 5 garda cars persuing him/her :mad:

also i beleive the car was been persued when kelly and gillian were hit by them it was just a case that the garda cars were not close at the time!

of course this is what ive been told but i dont know weather its true but i have no reason to doubt it because one of the withnesses is my best mate.

Well essentially its not much less than murder so rightfully so they should be putting all their efforts into it.

The gaurds were in the area because its main street/closing time on a Saturday night. The ombudsman investigated and the gaurds were not chasing it

My condolences to her family & friends.

Does anyone know if there is any truth to the rumour that the person responsible had been banned from driving for life but still got behind the wheel of a car ? That is something I have heard in the last few days.

Im not too sure so I could be wrong but I think that depends on whether the rumour that it was a certain "local" guy is true or not. Said guy is on the guardian practically every week for court cases and Im fairly sure his license had being taken from him was one of these cases (also driving afterwards with no license etc etc) ..... said guy is definitely a real scumbag.
Depends on if it is that guy or not...
