latest first- Teenager pleads guilty to endangerment of life and motor theft in Dublin Endangerment of life · Co. Dublin
On the night of 18 May 2026, a 17-year-old boy led gardaí on a 33-minute car chase from Tallaght, Dublin, driving the wrong way on the M50 motorway in a stolen vehicle. He is a friend of five teenagers, including non-Irish Kamil Pustkowski (17) and Irish Jack Kennedy (17), who were killed on 16 August 2026 after their BMW drove the wrong way up the M9 at Moone, Co Kildare. On 8 September 2026, the boy pleaded guilty at Dublin Children's Court to charges of endangerment of life and motor theft. He still faces 10 connected dangerous driving charges, and the case resumes in October. He remains on bail.
In court, 8 Sep 2026Victim · 1 report - Five teenagers killed in M9 crash under Fiosrú investigation in Kildare Road traffic collision · Co. Kildare
Five teenage boys were killed at about 3am on Sunday 16 August 2026 when the BMW they were travelling in was driven the wrong way down the M9 motorway near Moone, Co Kildare, and collided head-on with a Hyundai carrying four members of the Kinsella family from Carlow who were travelling to Dublin Airport. The five deceased were Alex McCarthy, 17, from Carlow; Joey Carthy, 15, from Athy; Jack Kennedy, 17, from Athy; Kamil Pustkowski, 17, from Limerick; and Jeremy O'Brien, 18. Four people in the Hyundai, sisters Niamh and Alma Kinsella, in their 30s, Ella Hendricken, in her 20s, and a seven-year-old boy, were seriously injured and remain in hospital. Gardaí believe the teenagers had been searching for burglary targets in the Kildare area and that the BMW, purchased for about €1,000 the week before, was driven the wrong way to evade a patrol car that had requested it to stop in Athy at about 2am. The incident has been referred to Fiosrú, the Police Ombudsman, and no arrests or charges have been made.
