He died on Friday night, in a collision involving two vehicles.
A midlands man who was killed in a hit-and-run is being described as a "bright and talented student, with a keen sense of justice."
Mountrath's Joe Drennan passed away following a collision with two cars in Castletroy in Limerick on Friday night, at around 9.50pm.
Gardaí say one vehicle failed to remain at the scene, while the male driver of the other and its passenger, a woman, were taken to University Hospital Limerick for treatment of what's believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
Mountrath Community School says Joe was "determined to make a difference for the better in the world."
He was vice-chief editor for Limerick Voice, University of Limerick's student newspaper.
