Death toll still rising

It was another grim weekend, with four more people losing their lives on Irish roads.

Two of those who died were motorcyclists, bringing the number of motorcyclists killed on our roads in the past week to six. The motorcyclists both lost their lives on Saturday night (14th June), in counties Clare and Wexford.

A father and daughter were killed when the car they were driving entered the Grand Canal between Daingean and Ballycommon in County Offaly after swerving to avoid a tractor.

Meanwhile, in Mayo, Gardai are investigating the death of a 28-year-old man who was killed when hit by a train at Castlebar Station on Friday evening (13th June).
