Kiea McCann, 17 and Dlava Mohamed, 16, died after the car they were travelling in, crashed into a tree in County Monahan, Ireland on July 31, 2023.
Anthony McGinn, 61, who was a friend of the McCann family, was put in a 'position of trust' to drive the two young girls to the Debs ball in Monaghan Town, the court heard.
Monaghan Circuit Court heard how McGinn ignored the pleas from his teen passengers to 'slow down' as he drove at nearly double the speed of a 50mph zone.
His car, a white BMW then careered and collided with a tree on the N54 at around 75mph in the Legnakelly area, killing the two girls and injuring another.
