    On 10 or 11 July 2020, Peter Flynn, 34, of Grennanstown, Nenagh, was driving at Carrigatoher, Nenagh, Tipperary, when he hit from behind an Audi TT convertible carrying Noel McGrath, a former Limerick footballer and prison officer, and his wife Doris McGrath. McGrath died on his way to University Hospital Limerick, while Doris McGrath suffered life-changing injuries. Flynn left the scene, continued drinking in Broadford, County Clare, and hid the car in Killaloe; his nephew Ben Flynn and Kieran McInerney later set the car alight near Bodyke, County Clare. Flynn pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death, and Ben Flynn and Kieran McInerney pleaded guilty to impeding the course of a Garda investigation. In July 2022, Flynn was sentenced to six years' imprisonment with 18 months suspended and a 10-year driving disqualification, while Ben Flynn and Kieran McInerney were remanded on continuing bail to 4 October 2022.
