Gardaí release man in crash probe

A Polish man who was questioned by Gardaí in relation to a crash, which resulted in the death of two women in Kilkenny this week, has been released without charge.

Thirty-one-year-old Vanessa McGarry - the wife of Kilkenny goalkeeper James McGarry - and 49-year-old Mary Lonergan from Paulstown in Kilkenny, died in the crash on the N9 near Thomastown on Thursday.

The man, who is in his thirties, was arrested yesterday and was questioned at Thomastown Garda Station for over 30 hours.
