An appeal has been issued for witnesses following separate road crashes in counties Limerick and Cork in which two men were killed.
In Limerick, a motorcyclist in his 50s died after his bike was in collision with a car and another motorbike.
The crash occurred on the N69 Limerick between Glinn and Tarbert at around 12:40pm and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The second motorcyclist, a man in his 20s, was taken to Limerick University Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The driver of the car was uninjured and the road has been closed for a technical examination.
In Cork, a man believed to be in his 30s was killed in a single vehicle collision on the Old Dublin Road, near J18 of the M8 motorway.
His body was removed from the scene and taken to Cork University Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
The road was closed for a time but has since re-opened.
