A vigil takes places in Limerick today for the Mountrath student who was killed in 2023.
The family of a Laois man killed in a hit and run will join students at his former university today.
They're calling for a tougher prison sentence for the man who's reckless driving led to his death.
Mountrath's Joe Drennan - a journalism student at UL - died in October 2023.
Last week 21 year old Kieran Fogarty was sentenced to 6 and a half years behind bars for dangerous driving, the sentence runs con-currently with a previous conviction for discharging a firearm.
Joe's family, friends and colleagues are appealing to the Director of Public Prosecutions to review the sentence.
Lecturer and Head of Journalism at UL Catherine Hayes says people are very upset at Joe's death:
