A FAMILY holiday and a festival in Kerry have been marred by the deaths of two people in traffic accidents.

A Manchester-based family had just started a holiday in Listowel, Co Kerry, when their youngest child, a four-year-old boy, died after being struck by a car on Sunday at around 5.35pm.

Little Rio Singh Ranjaha Potiwan is believed to have been playing with other children when he came onto the road at Dromin, Listowel, where the family had a rented house. He died in Tralee Hospital. He had three sisters.
