  1. How deluded do you have to be to think 155 km isn’t dangerous? Lock the prick up. They can have a family reunion.

  5. Down playing the seriousness of his actions should come with a harsher sentence.

    Hope he meets McGregor in a mosh pit and they both have to listen to Enoch for eternity.

  6. Why would anyone think they could fight this? Even the legal firm who represented him should have told him to feck off.

  7. If he can’t see how his actions were dangerous then perhaps he shouldn’t be out and about in society??

  8. At no point has he shown any form of acceptance of his own actions, or guilt. And that’s in neither case.

    He has too much ego even to lie and say he is sorry
    Why should he get any leniency.

  9. Headline perfectly summarises how up his own hole this cunt actually is.

  10. *… as he drove at 155kmh while overtaking nine cars outside Mallow after admitting speeding up because he was “running out of road”.*
    So this is careless and not “overtaking dangerously”? WTF?🙄

  11. He’s absolutely deluded if he feels the stupidity of his conduct on the road wasn’t dangerous. He could have killed someone with those manoeuvres

  12. “Mr Hayes said he did not consider his driving to be dangerous while accepting he had driven at 155kmh while overtaking nine cars”

    Well holy shit i would hate to see what he considers dangerous

  13. Of course he would try to make that distinction. Careless driving is a road traffic offence, whereas dangerous driving is a criminal charge

  16. So will his suspended sentence be unsuspended ( is that how you say it) ?

  17. This prick is there with McGregor as the biggest disgrace in the country

  18. “I don’t accept it was dangerous”! Cocky litle s**t isn’t he.

  19. That stretch of road is incredible dangerous as-is. It has climbing lanes that switch direction every so often. So if you time it wrong, you could end up into oncoming traffic.

    To be going 155 and overtaking so many cars is incredibly reckless. He could have easily killed someone. Book should have been thrown at him.

  21. Absolute skanger if this is what he thinks, maybe if he wrapped himself and his car around a pole going that speed he’d be thinking differently

  22. So driving at 155kmh while overtaking nine cars is not “dangerous”. And beating and kicking a fella within an inch of his life is not “violent”.

    Woe betide us all if he ever does something that he actually considers dangerous or violent.

  24. So when do Limerick GAA assign him a personal driver

  25. I’m somewhat confused, is ‘dangerous driving’ a criminal or civil charge? I had assumed it was criminal and that careless was civil and hence the reason for appealing the conviction?

    If it is criminal, would this not breach the suspension of his earlier conviction of assault during 2024 and there result in Kyle Hayes serving a custodial sentence?

  26. No, your carelessness with regard to the danger, led you to being dangerous.

  28. He accepted that he had “driven at 155kmh while overtaking nine cars.” Sure, it’s not dangerous at all.

  30. Two of his scumbag brothers locked up, will be great now if it’s the trio

  31. A year ago I had never heard of this lad, now I can’t go online without seeing his name in the papers.

  32. There really is a problem in this country with ball players thinking they’re big lads.

  34. Used to drive Cork – Limerick daily and those stretches where you got a 2nd lane for a couple of km were absolutely lethal.

    Some would use them to overtake a tractor or truck but 2/3 times a week you’d have lads doing 150+ to overtake as many cars as possible and then try force their way back in at the top. Sounds like what happened here as he refers to running out of road.

  36. He should absolutely not be picked for limerick and it shouldn’t be a decision

  37. C’mon lads, you would really put a GAA “icon” in jail?
    No compassion at all?

    Probably, he was stressed about the Munster Championship, and he forgot his boots on the pedal.

  38. *Garda Deirdre Barrett, who has been involved in roads policing for fifteen years, today (Wed)  said that she was monitoring traffic on 14 July, 2024 when she saw a white Audi overtake nine cars at a speed of 155km/h.*

    *She said that the dangerous driving by Hayes, which occurred at around 8pm, wasn’t “momentary.”*

    *“There was no consideration for their (other motorists) safety or his own safety or the safety of his passenger.*

    *By his own admission he said he ran out of road. If it is not safe to do so don’t overtake and he had no regard for anyone else. He put himself, his passenger and other road users in danger by what he did.”*

    *Garda Barrett said that Hayes “purposefully overtook” vehicles until he “ran out of road.”*

    *She said she believed that he may well have been driving even faster prior to this detection because by his own admission he “ran out of road.”*

    Kyle Hayes – Grade-A cnut.

    Anyone who thinks that overtaking a line of cars at 155kph isn’t dangerous ? Also a Grade-A cnut.

  39. Is he still a car brand ambassador following his initial court case?

  40. I almost get more annoyed at these people because they think they’re better than the rest of us and can ignore the rules rather than the immediate danger they place people in. Its so arrogant.

  42. Why the fuck this prick is not rotting in a cell already?!?

  43. Ffs, how will he get to training if he can’t drive????
