WATCH: Laois villagers march with family of hit and run victim Joe Drennan

Justice for Joe campaign comes home to Camross for emotional appeals

Hundreds of Laois people from the rural community of Camross have shown their loyal support for the bereaved family of hit and run victim, University of Limerick journalism student Joe Drennan, and his family's Justice for Joe campaign,  in an emotional march to his graveside on Sunday, February 16 despite pouring rain.

Prayers were also said for Joe's father Tim who was taken by ambulance to hospital on the morning of the march, believed to be due to the ongoing stress of the recent court judgement on the driver of the car that killed his son aged 21.
