A Waterford bus driver has been found guilty of dangerous driving causing the deaths of two teenagers.

Adrian Doyle (43) of Ard Glas, Ferrybank has been found guilty for his role in the collision that occurred on the Cork Road in the early hours of June 27, 2024.

The collision involving a bus and an e-scooter resulted in the deaths of Gilbert Collins (15) and Avuzwa Sampo (17).

Mr Doyle had pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving causing the deaths of the two teenagers.

However, a jury of his peers at Waterford Circuit Court returned a unanimous guilty verdict on Tuesday morning.

They had deliberated for a total of three hours and 29 minutes.

Judge Eugene O'Kelly remanded Mr Doyle on continuing bail until January 13, 2027, to fix a date for sentencing.
