A 34-year-old man who pleaded guilty to careless driving causing the death of a seven-year-old boy while reversing a road sweeping vehicle has been sentenced to 18 months in jail

.

Mr Scully had been in one of the houses watching some of the match but then resumed his work using the road sweeper. Some of the children had been waving at the sweeper and one had moved a box out of his way. She said the loss had torn them apart and their house had grown silent and cold. When she had her own son, she did not know how to feel."We did not want to replace Devin, we did not know how we could have another little boy in our family," she said.

She said her son had been excited about going back to school and making his Communion that year. He was a clever, outspoken and kind child. Judge Pauline Codd who had viewed the incident on CCTV in private, said Mr Scully did not seem to demonstrate adequate care and the decision to reverse the vehicle had been made quickly.
