Five people in their early twenties were killed in a two-vehicle crash in Ireland on Saturday night.
The incident happened just after 9pm at Gibstown, Co Louth, and involved a Volkswagen Golf.
It is thought the group were on their way to socialise in Dundalk, a town close to the border with Northern Ireland.
Three other people, one of whom is also in his early 20s, were injured in what Irish police described as a ‘shocking and devastating’ crash.
Three men and two women died at the scene, while three others were taken to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, for treatment.
Gardai said it would have ‘a deep impact’ on families and communities in Carrickmacross, Dromconrath and in Scotland.
