A teenager who was in a car involved in last Saturday morning's collision between two cars in Dublin that killed a taxi-driver has died in hospital today.

The 16-year-old male, who has not been named, had been "critical" in hospital since the crash.

Two other teenage boys who were in the car were yesterday charged with unlawfully taking and being a passenger in a stolen car.

Both have been remanded in custody pending directions from the DPP and the likelihood of "more serious charges".
