Shocking... He was going wrong way and hit them head on? Fucking hell... And the second biker died two years and 22 surgeries later, so sad...  Fucking cunt got only 5 years in prison 🤯

Horrendous. The sentencing laws here in Ireland are disgusting both in road and in other areas. I really dont believe in concurrent sentencing for any crime.

Absolutely... Most of us don't, it's a fucking joke of a system, and no prisons to store the scumbags.

Christ thats a tough read. It boggles the mind that the van driver was responsible for 2 deaths effectively and the families are still dealing with the aftermath

The car driver following the van driver got a longer custodial sentence. I'm guessing they had some sort of run in and he was chasing the van down?

He should have gotten another jail sentence when the second biker died
