After the tragic accident with his brother, Ronan Keating comments on the court ruling. The singer criticizes the “broken” system.
About a year and a half ago, singer Ronan Keating (47) lost his older brother Ciarán in a tragic car accident. , the 22-year-old, who caused the collision, was now sentenced to a 17-month probation penalty and a two-year driving ban. Apparently not a sufficient punishment for Ronan Keating: The musician expressed his say on Thursday morning and criticized the “broken judiciary” sharply.
“Today’s judgment is a disturbing example of how broken our judiciary is,” said the 47-year-old on Instagram. “You can kill a man … and go away as a freelance man. Not even a single night in prison. Just a pat on hand and a free -living to live on.” The singer continues: “And then we are surprised why we keep seeing such behavior on our streets, which is why people keep dying in traffic accidents in Ireland? It is a joke and morally corrupt that everyone can make an eye Try to repair our broken system. “
The process was a “shame” and the result “heartbreaking for my family”. “The Keating family will never find peace. We will continue to fight for Ciarán’s justice. During this time we think of all the other families who are in our situation and we pray that other families will never endure.”
The Keating family is “shaken”
According to “RTé”, the Keating family said in a statement read in court about the effects of the act that their lives were shaken and that it will never forget what happened. Accordingly, Ciarán Keatings wife Annemarie and the three children Conall, Aisling and Ruirí were there at the verdict.
On the day of the accident in July 2023, Ciarán Keating and his wife were on the way to a soccer game of her son Ruairí when the accident happened. According to statements in the trial, the 22-year-old defendant overlooked a curve, whereupon his Audi A3 collided with the Ford Focus of the Keatings. The 57-year-old Ciarán Keating died at the scene of the accident, his wife was seriously injured.
As “RTé” continues to report from the process, nobody drove too quickly. A number of factors such as moist weather conditions and crazy tires had contributed to the fatal accident, but above all an inattention of the young driver, who apparently looked at his cell phone shortly before. In addition, a trace of cannabis was found in his body in the hospital. The judge declared that mitigating circumstances had been taken into account in the judgment, including an early confession and no criminal records.
