Appeal for witnesses after man (23) dies in Wicklow motorcycle crash

This brings the total number of motorcyclists killed on Irish roads this year to 12.

GARDAÍ ARE APPEALING for witnesses after a man died in a motorcycle collision in Co Wicklow. 

Shortly after 2pm, a 23-year-old man was fatally injured when he came off his motorcycle at Hillbrook Lower at the R748 near Carnew.

The scene will be preserved overnight to facilitate an examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators tomorrow morning. 

Local diversions are in place.

    There are two types of people, those who can afford an apple product and those that can’t, the latter are a very bitter lot

    A judge, an Apple Admin employee, and a FBI agent agree to meet at a bar. Only the Apple employee makes it….. Why?…. Because the bar didn’t have a back door.

    Brendan, I’d rather pay a little extra get an actual
    Better product and pay what it’s worth. Because remember android etc are only so cheap because Google give the Os free, but they also sell every piece of your information into third parties, read the small print.

    A brand that thinks it’s just invincible, although when people pay obscene amounts of money for these phones, iPods, laptops etc just to say they have an apple product and be shafted in return with the likes of this error and I doubt it will be the only one either good enough for them IMO

    Brendan Apple make good products, yes they’re expensive but from my experience of using them I’ve never been let down by them plus if people want to pay that price that’s up to them it’s their money they’re spending.
