  • An RIP would have been nice Susan. Good to see you are more worried about the location of the road than the dead. RIP lads.

  • There is a serious difference in the facts of this article, the N14 is the letterkenny to lifford road, and murlough is an area on that road, the picture is of the N13 at newtowncuningham, which is close to the eastern shore of lough swilly, as opposed to murlough which is near the northern shore of the foyle. Also murlough, also more commonly known as murlog, according to local knowledge and google, is south-east of letterkenny.

  • I agree totally Emer, chuck, get a life, I was helping the journalist, why did u feel the need to jump all over it, u not feel that family’s involved need sympathy and not your hateful comments? Also you should review your comments vs the article vs your understanding of the meaning of plural.

  • If we could stay on topic please. Loss of more lives on our roads is a tragedy. Its an all too familiar vision in Donegal to see young people indeed people in general loose their lives on our poor roads. God be with the families as this is a terrible time for them and relatives / friends.
    So please folks lets keep to article and not rip into each other, kind of puts into perspective everything.
