I lost my own brother to a car accident. Along with my brother in the same car there were two brothers who were killed. I know the devastation that losing a young person to a car accident is like. I would not comment directly on this tragic case about what happened this week as the families are going through hell and I would not want to add more grief to the family. If I was to speak in general terms about safety on roads there is a duty for all of us to work together to report people who put lives at risk on the roads. If I see somebody who is putting peoples lives at risk I ring the cops. I would not be able to deal with it if I later came down that road where there was a major accident that I could have helped prevent.

god help their mother and father and the person that has to tell them that their children are gone they are all soo young

Horrible tragedy, so tough for the family. RIP

Heartbreaking for family and friends.

RIP

Jesus that story was bad enough. Now it’s ten times worse.

A parents worst nightmare, no words can explain away this. God help these parents. RIP.

I have 4 boys. I don’t know how the parents will get through this. This is so sad. RIP.

My cousin died in 99 aged 18 in a car crash. To this day, his parents and the whole family never recovered. Cant imagine losing 3 siblings in a blink of an eye :(

Oh my god, that poor family!! My heart goes out to both families, such an absolute waste of life. RIP lads :-(

Have two brothers myself, unbearable to think of

Can you imagine being the garda and/or priest who had to deliver that news to the mother… really just awful.

Terrible tragedy. The poor guys may have been overtaking in an unsafe situation. I see it happening all the time and it scares me.

It’s a parents worst nightmare to lose 1 child, can’t even begin to imagine what they are goin through after losing 3 sons :( r.i.p to the 4 men nd god give strength to the friends nd family of these men with this horrific tragedy.

Just awful, so sad. This is one of the worst bits of news I have read in my 48 years on this planet .. Four life’s just gone in a flick of a switch.. How can the parents of brothers survive this tragedy .. R.I.P is easy to write/say .. What do you say to the parents .. there lives have just been destroyed .

I was in tears when I heard that 3 of the dead boys were brothers. I have 3 sons myself and the thought of losing one of them never mind all three just does not bear thinking about. That poor mam and dad, life will never be the same again for them. So sad.

Ar dheis lámh Dé go raibh siad. RIP.

Such a tragic accident, god love their families and friends, RIP

A terrible tragedy for the family and friends of those 4 young men

Horrific accident. Thoughts are with the families if all involved.

That is absolutely heartbreaking! The poor family will be devastated. God live them. So so sad! RIP boys.

well said tomas.

RIP.

It always amazes me how many experts there are out there when it comes to driving.

Yes, the statistics show that young men have placed themselves in a high risk category. Pointing that out is vastly different to making the presumption that it was completely down to this car’s driver.

There are a lot of scenarios that could have happened. I just don’t understand this throwing out of theories that the families and friends of those who were just lost in a horrific accident simply don’t need to see.

I also question the need to include the name of the car. If this story was a headline of “55 year old woman dies in crash” would it go on to say she was driving a volvo? I doubt it.
Naming the car opens the door to exactly the kind of speculation above.

The statistics might point that way but it’s a bit soon to be voicing assertions.

such a sad waste of four young peoples lives .RIP.

unimaginable pain for Those families. a terrible tragedy. rip.

Heartbreaking stuff. RIP

so very sad my thoughts nd prrayers are with family nd friends rip

I couldn’t agree more Eileen, I too have 3 sons and it’s unbearable to think how their parents are managing this horrific tragedy. I hope Mother nature numbs them enough to protect their sanity at this moment to get through the next few days. What about the weeks and years that follow? God help them.

What’s the point of The Journal? Do they intend paying people for their comments, considering that’s where the real content is?
