Two men and a boy have been killed in three road collisions across Ireland from Saturday night to Sunday morning.
In Co Donegal, a 9-year-old boy died following a hit-and-run incident at about 9.20 pm on Saturday.
Gardaí said the boy was “struck by a vehicle” on Atlantic Way in Bundoran and the vehicle involved failed to remain at the scene.
In Co Kerry, another pedestrian, a man aged in his 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene following a collision involving a taxi.
Emergency services were alerted shortly after 2 a.m. to the incident on the R553 at Ballydonohoe, Lisselton, near Ballybunion.
“The pedestrian, a male in his 20s, was pronounced deceased at the scene a short time later,” Gardaí said.
“His body has since been removed to the mortuary at University Hospital Kerry. The driver, a male in his 40s, did not require immediate medical treatment.”
Meanwhile, a motorcyclist died following a road collision involving a pedestrian in Dublin at about 2.45 a.m. on Sunday.
The motorcyclist, a man in his early 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene at a roundabout on Whitestown Way in Tallaght.
The pedestrian, also a male in his 20s, was taken by ambulance to Tallaght Hospital, where his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Gardaí are appealing to anyone with information or who may have witnessed any of these crashes to contact them.
