'It's bittersweet because if our son Enda wasn't killed, this wouldn't be happening, but you have to take what comes to you, and make the best of it as much as you can, and that's what I've done'
A father who has tirelessly campaigned for tougher sentences for those convicted of causing death by dangerous driving is to receive a British Empire Medal.The 18-year-old Queen's University Belfast student was in his first term of a degree in architecture, following in his father's footsteps, when he was knocked down and killed as he walked back to his halls of residence.
While the collapse of the powersharing government has created uncertainty, Mr Dolan said they will continue to press to ensure it happens. "We have been working hard to try and change the law in relation to death by dangerous driving, and trying to promote road safety. "It's time-consuming but hopefully somewhere along the line it'll be worth it when we get the law changed.""The injustices with the sentencing and coming out of court with the accused getting a sentence of a few years didn't really sit well with me -from that I tried to see if we could do something," he said.
