A man who caused the deaths of two teenage girls whilst driving at nearly twice the speed limit has been sentenced to seven years in prison.
Kiea McCann, 17, and her best friend, 16-year-old Dlava Mohammed, died when the car they were travelling in struck a tree at Legnakelly, near Clones, on 31 July 2023.
Anthony McGinn, 61, with an address at Drumloo, Newbliss, County Monaghan, previously admitted dangerous driving causing the deaths of the teenagers.
The girls were on their way to a school ball at the Westenra Arms Hotel in Monaghan town.
At an early court hearing he also admitted dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm to Dlava’s sister, Avin Mohammed, on the same date.
