Two people have died in separate road crashes in counties Donegal and Mayo last night.
A former Mayo minor footballer has died in a single vehicle crash at Carrowmore near Ballinrobe.
He has been named as Darragh Doherty from Kilmaine who played at centre-forward on the team that claimed the Tom Markham Cup in 2013, scoring 1-02 in the match.
The 19-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene after his car crashed into a wall at around 10.30pm. His body was removed to Mayo General Hospital where a post-mortem examination is to take place.
A teenager who was also in the car received non-life threatening injuries.

In a statement on its Facebook page, the club said he won several divisional and county titles with Kilmaine and Carras underage team.
He is survived by his parents and four brothers.
