Friends on way to rugby match killed in head-on crash

TWO workers at Limerick’s Dell computer plant were killed in a horrific road accident, which claimed four lives at the weekend.

William Quane, 34, from Monaska, Clonlara, Co Clare, was travelling to the Ireland-Italy rugby match in Croke Park with two friends when their vehicle was involved in a head-on collision at 9.30am on Saturday on the main Limerick to Dublin road in Co Laois.

Mr Quane and his friend Sean O’Donoghue, 37, from Lisaleen, Patrickswell, Co Limerick, were both killed in the collision on the Borris-in-Ossory to Roscrea stretch of the N7.
