Thats pretty fucking damning. Shame on all who had something to do with this, shame.
the lack of common decency currently running through this country is summed up in this story.
is there anyone left in this fucking country willing to stand up and take their medicine for what they have done anymore?
Sickening case this, says a lot about him that he pleaded not guilty to the dangerous driving causing death charge. Should be up on a manslaughter charge for this type of stuff.
Few links here to other drink driving cases not mentioned and what happened.

Didnât have to plead not guilty to the charge of dangerous driving causing death as the DPP didnât bring that charge. Report in todayâs indo says that the DPP considered dropping all charges against Halvey. Reading between the lines suggest that it was only pressure from the family that forced the DPP to bring any charges.
Very hypocritical of Halvey to apologise in court yesterday, as the victims mother said, he had three years to do it, why wait until he was in court where he was sure the media would hear it.
Sickening.
I donât know what to make of this
At first I thought that there was no benefit to be gotten by putting Halvey away, the more I think about it now though I think he should have been sent down. He drank and decided to drive- not a little over the limit but twice the limit- and then killed a young fellow.
The only thing certain is that there are two sets of lives ruined here
Two sets of lives ruined here alright, but Halvey ruined his own life, the kid didnât have a choice.
There was absolutely no account taken for this killing. He was charged with careless driving and drunk driving. If heâd struck an Oak tree it would be the same charges, only if he did that the guards would have covered it up for him like they did before. Shame on all who took part in this whitewash. Fuck you Mick Galway.
For what itâs worth I would also like to add my utter disgust at this verdict.
Likewise.
He must be some cunt. Twice the limit and sets off for Dublin at 5am. in the morning. Is he mental or what?
Aye he was on his way to the Munster v Leinster semi final game as far as I remember. Course he couldnât go up and have a few pints in Dublin and stay above, no he had to get hammered the friday night before and decide it was a good idea to drive the 130 miles to Dublin. Fucking prick.
Was it not the quarter final v Perpignan?
Semi final I thought.
What had Mick Galwey got to do with it SS?
Thought the semifinal was on a Sunday, the quarterfinal was on a saturdayâŚ
Youâd be right there now that you mention it.
Gave a character reference or something.
Boxty, it is well known that Halvey is and was a mental cunt ever before this accident happened.
Had a long post written but just deleted it, not worth posting it really. Summary, there is a lot has gone on in this case that hasnt been reported. None of it changes the facts but it is a fucking scandal.
Galwey is a fuckwit and has gone down even further in my estimation.
One question though, this happened the morning of the 2006 Munster Leinster semi final, in fact I think the young fella and his family were also on their way to the match. Did halvey stay out all night boozing and sit into the car and head straight for Dublin, or did he go on a major bender the night before and just get up at the crack of dawn and strike off for Dublin?
MBB is bang on the money re his partying exploits. Fucked up his rugby career, has fucked up his life now. Man is in a bad way by all accounts, but not as bad as the life he has ruined.

The young lad, his father and his uncle were on their way to Belfast/northern ireland, the uncle was a cab driver and was buying a carâŚThey left early to beat the traffic going to the matchâŚ
Puke is definitely right on this one, it was the morning of the quarter final v Perpignan not the semi v Leinster.

Read a good bit about this over the last three years, certainly appears that that is what happened alright. As I said earlier, there should be a manslaughter charge for stuiff like this. Even the likes of Philip Sheedy did two and a half years in prison.
Which happened though Sid.
Plenty fellas have sat into the car the morning after the night before, not many would sit into the car straight from the pub/club
