Darragh Farrell, aged 32, from Woodhill Villas in Tivoli on the outskirts of Cork city, became the latest person to die on Irish roads just after 3am yesterday.

He died just across the road from his family home when the car he was driving east out of the city crashed through a wall on the dangerous skew bridge in Tivoli.
