Drunk driver who had six disqualification orders is jailed for causing death of "true gentleman"
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: He noted that Collopy shouldn't have been driving that night as he had been disqualified many times over and his actions showed "total contempt for road traffic law". "His actions have led to the death of a very good man. Many people in this court will be left with a great sorrow for a substantial period of time and he is responsible for that," Judge Nolan said before he jailed Collopy for six and half years and disqualified him from driving for ten years.
