The 23 year old Donegal man who was driving the car in which seven young men died will appear in court again today.

Mr Kelly, the sole survivor of the crash, was charged with dangerous driving causing the deaths of eight men.

He was arrested a month ago and conveyed to Buncrana courthouse by Garda Carol Doherty.

Those who were died were Eamon McDaid, 21, of Ballymagan, Buncrana, PJ McLaughlin, 21, of Burnfoot, Ciaran Sweeney, 19, of Ballyliffin, James McEleney, 23, of Clonmany, Mark McLaughlin, 21, of Fahan, Paul Doherty, 19 of Ballyliffin, Damien McLaughlin, 21, of Buncrana and Hughie Friel, 66, of Urris.
