Two young men have been killed in two separate road crashes in the early hours of this morning.
A 23-year-old front-seat passenger died when the car he was traveling in crashed into a ditch before overturning on the Blessington road near Naas, Co Kildare. The driver of the car was reportedly slightly injured.
In Co Donegal, a 19-year-old pedestrian was killed when he was struck by a car just outside Letterkenny.
