Two of the men, one from Co Cork and one from Co Kilkenny, who were passengers in the car, were killed in the impact.Long-awaited A5 road upgrade to get €600m in funding as part of Shared Island initiativeImpact of cycle lanes and other active travel ‘more positive’ than people expect, study finds Salesian College principal Derek O’Donoghue said: “I would like to send my condolences to the families of the two students that have tragically lost their lives, and our thoughts and prayers are with their families and their friends and classmates, and I also wish the two students who are in hospital a speedy recovery.”
Paying tribute, he described the four men as “exemplary students, hard working, diligent, and all had really good careers ahead of them – two still have obviously, but unfortunately two lives have been cut very very short”. “The four occupants of the car were all on the same course together and they were all residential students here in Pallaskenry. It’s a much tighter knit community of students than the day students, because not alone are they in college together during the day, but they are together by night.”
“Two families have suffered the ultimate loss of life and for that I want to express my sincere sympathies to them.”
