A man has been killed in a road traffic collision in County Limerick in the early hours of this morning.

They’re from different divisions and renowned traditional hurling towns, so it’s hard to believe this is the first time Kilmallock and Adare meet in a Limerick SHC final.

FOUR people died in road accidents over the weekend, bringing to seven the number of traffic fatalities since Friday.

A man is to appear before Limerick District Court today in connection with a shooting incident on Tuesday.

Gardaí were today hunting an armed gang after a drive-by shooting in the village of Ballyneety, Co Limerick.
