THE FAMILY of a 60-year-old taxi driver killed in a head-on collision with a drunk driver, who also died in the crash, have issued a plea to motorists not to drink and drive.

They were speaking following an inquest at Cork City Coroner’s Court into the deaths of Michael Maguire, Patrickswell in Co Limerick, and Andreuis Simonavicius (36), Kilmihil, Kilmallock, Co Limerick.
