A retired garage owner, whose two sons were killed in a car crash nearly 14 years ago, has settled his High Court action over nervous shock suffered as a result of losing his children.
Walter Doyle (59), Sparrowlands, Bree, Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, had sued the driver of a vehicle which collided with a car being driven by his son, Dermot (20), and in which his other son, Jim (16), was a passenger in August 1996.

“A cloud came over me and I could not get going again,” he said.
