Picture: Irish Echo Source: News Limited AN Irishman extradited to Perth has been jailed for almost three years after pleading guilty to dangerous driving occasioning the deaths of two friends in a car accident six years ago. Eamonn Mark Driver, 31, was charged after the deaths of Irish nationals Colm Paul Reilly, 20, and 22-year-old Kiara Eileen Duncan in the Perth suburb of Bedford in October 2007. Driver was speeding in a Toyota Corolla when it hit a curb and crashed. He left Perth to attend the funerals in Ireland before being charged with any offence. But after being charged with two counts of dangerous driving occasioning death in his absence, Driver failed to appear in a Perth court in 2009 because he was recovering from a motorcycle accident in Ireland and could not travel. He did not fight an extradition order and was eventually brought to Australia in August last year and entered an early plea of guilty. Judge Richard Keen sentenced Driver in the Perth District Court on Friday to two years and 50 weeks in prison. He took two weeks off the sentence because Driver spent some time in custody in Ireland while the extradition was organised.
