Derek Devoy, founder of suicide prevention service Taxi Watch, said he had been in contact with the passenger, and believes he will hand himself in to a garda station this evening.
He told Independent.ie: “I don’t want anything that will jeopardise his court case. I just want to get him to the Garda station and after that I’m finished.
“I spoke to him for an hour this morning. He’s 100% remorseful but I don’t think that’s going to help him.”
