    Should have gotten 30 in jail. And never let drive again.

    Cant argue with that,and if the girlfriend was arguing with him and pulling at his hoodie he should have pulled in and told her get out..

    if he got 7 the most he will realistically serve is 4 and most of that in a open prison

    the man killed after previously almost killing some one else .

    not saying we should go full american but we do need a more robust justice system balanced in favor of the victim

    Tragic story.
    So many lives needless destroyed once again by mindless speeding on our roads.

    I know if it was my wife/daughter/sister etc, I would want him to do life, but in comparison to some of the other sentences being handed down recently, he got 7 years with none suspended. I would expect an appeal and he'll probably get an even lighter sentence

    He told gardaí that Ms Potts was pulling on his hoodie and arguing with him in the car before the crash, causing him to lose control of the vehicle.
    What a complete scumbag.

    He'll be back on the road in five years time, killing someone else, I can guarantee it.

    Animals like this guy have no respect for anything.

    no remorse no leniency

    hope they stick to their guns and no reduction in sentencing on appeal

    4.5 years seems a little light.

    Doubling that would be more fair.
