  On 24 December 2024, a car travelling in the opposite direction collided with an off-duty paramedic, a woman, on the N33 at Charleville, County Cork, as she drove home to Donegal for Christmas; the article headline places the incident in Louth. Mika Mafuta (27), an Irish man, failed a roadside breath test and was charged with dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm and driving without a driving licence, pleading guilty to both, with a charge of driving without insurance taken into consideration. At Dundalk Circuit Court he was sentenced to four years and three months, with the final six months suspended, plus an eight-year disqualification and a concurrent three-month sentence for driving without a licence, a sentence reported on 15 May 2026.
