Four killed on roads over weekend

The funeral took place yesterday of Jason Burke, aged 20, of Moone, Co Kildare, — the second victim of a single-car smash the previous weekend in which his passenger, Sarah Fitzgerald, 19, of Naas was killed.

Three people died in separate road crashes on Saturday in counties Dublin, Tipperary and Meath.

A fourth victim — a 64 year-old man — lost his life on Saturday afternoon following a collision near Monasterevin, Co Kildare between the car he was driving and a truck.
