Three people have died after a second serious crash in Tipperary in under a week.
It happened at Windmill, Knockbulloge, near Cashel, shortly before 9pm yesterday.
Thomas O'Reilly, who was 45, Bridget O'Reilly, who was 46 and their 3-year-old grandson, Tom, died when the car they were travelling in crashed into a wall.
Two others, a man and woman, who are both 22, are being treated for their injuries at Tipperary Unicersity Hospital.
The man is said to have serious injuries, while the woman is being treated for less serious injuries.
Local politician Roger Kennedy says the community is in shock today:
"That's a dozen in the last month, on the roads in Tipperary alone," he said.
Parish Priest for Cashel and Rosegreen, Father Enda Brady, says talks about a gathering tomorrow are "in the planning stage."
