Arrangements are being made to repatriate the bodies of Irish man Eoin Fitzpatrick and his ten-year-old son Dylan who died in Turkey earlier this week.
The father and son from Co Laois were killed when the moped they were travelling on collided with a bus at 3.30pm local time on Monday.
Turkish media reported that the collision occurred in the Kargicak district on the D-400 highway between Alanya and Mersin.
Mr Fitzpatrick and Dylan were both pronounced dead at the scene.
The family were due to return to Ireland yesterday.
Mr Fitzpatrick's older son Cian was also on the holiday, but was not involved in the crash.
The Department of Foreign Affairs has said it is offering consular assistance to the family.
Turkish authorities have said an investigation is under way.
GAA club pays tribute
Portlaoise GAA has posted a tribute online to Eoin and Dylan Fitzpatrick.
The club said their "thoughts and prayers at this unimaginable time are with the Fitzpatrick family and also with Dylan's Mam Claire and the Dowling family".
In a post of Facebook this evening, the club said both families had huge club and town connections.
"Eoin was a very talented hurler with our club and won numerous championships at underage level, as well as representing his county.
"He was the free taker, a deadly scorer from frees and from play," the post continued.
"He will be missed terribly by all who knew him".
The club said "GAA wasn't Dylan's area of interest. As his Mum Claire said, Dylan's interests were things like drawing, swimming and golf and he was the sweetest and kindest boy you could imagine".
The Club said funeral arrangements will follow in the coming days.
It is the second tragedy to strike the club, and the town, in recent months after 15-year-old David Brown died in a quad bike crash in Co Laois in April.
