A man in Galway and another in Dublin have died following traffic accidents this weekend.

TWO PEOPLE HAVE been killed in separate crashes over the weekend.

Last night a driver was killed in Dublin, on the Skerries to Rush road, when his car hit a wall shortly after midnight.

It is believed the man’s car veered off the road before hitting the wall.
