Deep shock and sadness in North Tipp after three road fatalities

Husband and wife Michal and Carmel Flannery died and their son remains seriously ill in hospital following a two car collision at Grange, Nenagh on Friday. The female driver of the second car also sustained injuries including a number of fractures.

Earlier in the week Borrisokane vet Dixton Larkin was killed in a crash on the M7 near Portlaoise – He was laid to rest today.

North Tipp Mayor and local councillor Ger Darcy says both communities are completely devastated by these dreadful tragedies.

With 9 deaths on the county’s roads in less than 3 months Clr Darcy is also urging all those embarking on journeys, long or short, to be extremely mindful and proceed with care.
