Tragically, a car accident near Cashel in County Tipperary claimed the lives of a three-year-old boy and a man and woman in their 40s.
The car they were in crashed into a wall in the Windmill Knockbulloge area of Cashel.

The police set up a special room at Cahir Garda Station to deal with a situation, and they assigned a head investigator to lead the inquiry.
