A 29 year old man and a 6 year old girl tragically died in separate road collisions in County Galway over the weekend.
On Friday last, a serious collision occurred on the N67 at Tonroe, Oranmore, at approximately 4:00pm.
The incident involved a motorcycle and another vehicle, and the driver of the motorcycle died at the scene from his injuries.
He has since been named locally as 29 year old Patrick De Le Ruelle, of Knockakilleen, Kinvara.
Mr. De Le Ruelle will be laid to rest on Wednesday in his native Kinvara.
On Saturday, another serious collision took place on the Headford Road in Galway, involving a truck and a bike.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The male driver of the truck, a man in his 30s, was not injured.
