Couple killed as car hits ditch at high speed

A Cork couple who died in a high-speed crash on a rural road north of Cork City on Saturday have been named.

One of the occupants was Ann Marie O’Connor, aged 45, from Kilbrogan, Bandon. She had six children and one grandchild and was originally from Worlds End, Kinsale.

She was a younger sister of Catherine O’Connor who was last year convicted of the double murder of two men in West Cork in November 2011.
