Condolences to the families
"The thing that always annoyed me about traditional Irish historiography was the paradox of its Anglocentrism. People are now prepared, I think, to confront the possibility that many Irish problems are, in a sense, indigenous to the Irish situation." Roy Foster (1989).
That's shocking. RIP
RIP and condolences to the families.Originally Posted by Nem
Nothing on RTE site yet! I don't know the details but that does look like a dangerous road. Are we really doing enough to prevent these tragedies?
This is terribly sad news. Tragically killed while working for republicanism. God rest their souls.
...a 17 year old driving a Honda Integra!! Absolutely ridiculous.
Get up on a high horse if you will about pre judging the outcome but you look at the accident site and the vehicles and it's pretty clear what occured!
I know it's a tragedy for friends and family but the authorities should use this accident and others like it to show the effects of excess speed. It is more important than allowing time to grieve!
You see young lads up and down the country driving these super powered cars and every one of them will tell you they know the risks and can "handle" the car.
Forget alcohol, drugs, etc. The one common factor in practically all road crashes is the involvement of a young male driver.
I'm sure alcohol has been consumed prior to many of the incidents but you rarely hear of 50 or 60 year olds being invloved in fatal car crashes whereas they make up a high % of those put off the road for drink driving!
I knew PJ Branley peripherally. He was a seriously nice man, good humoured and without airs and graces. This is a terrible loss to his family and the area. May he rest in peace.
We are all born mad. Some remain so.
And I, Antonius Block, am playing chess with Death!
Never let the facts get in the way of a good rant. Or taking responsibility for one's own actions of course. My condolences to the loved ones of the three men.

Why isn't this Front Page?
Tragically it is just one of many fatalities on our roads. Crashes don't merit front pages any more as they are all too common.
RIP.
