‘Devastated & shocked’ – Carlow heartbreak as two men, 20s, die in crash on anniversary of road tragedy that killed 3
A COUNCILLOR has told how the deaths of two young men in a crash this morning is “more poignant” after it occurred on the same day three people lost their lives on the same road last year.
Two men, 20s, were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash on the N80 in Leagh, Rathoe, Co Carlow at around 1.15am this morning.
Two other people, also aged in their 20s, were rushed to hospital with serious, but non-life threatening, injuries.
Gardai confirmed that only one vehicle was involved in the crash and said the injured man and woman were taken to St Luke’s General Hospital in Kilkenny.
Councillor John Pender said the whole community has been left “devastated and shocked” by the tragedy, adding that the collision is particularly sad as it marks the loss of five young people on the same road in one year.
Speaking to The Irish Sun, the Fianna Fail man said: “Our thoughts and our prayers and our sympathies are with the families of the deceased.
“That’s what makes it more poignant, that it was on the anniversary of the crash at the same location.”
Pender said there are plans to realign the section of the N80 where the crash took place early this morning, adding that work starting on the road is “absolutely urgent”.
He explained: “Currently, Carlow County Council have a planning applicaton with An Bord Pleanala to realign the road all along that stretch.
“I would be hoping there will be an early decision on that from An Bord Pleanala and that the work will be able to get started because it is absolutely urgent.”
Independent Councillor Will Paton described the crash as “horrific”.
Speaking to RTE’s Morning Ireland, he said: “Unfortunately two more young men have lost their lives. . . and what makes it even worse is this is literally a year to the day when three young people – two men and a young lady – lost their lives at the exact same spot.
“I can’t even begin to understand the pain and suffering that people are going through.
“There has been a history of deaths, crashes, incidents, accidents at that particular area.
“It’s gone on far too long and we really need to address this problem urgently.”
Daryl Culbert, 21, from Co Wicklow, Michael Kelly, 25, from Co Carlow and 19-year-old Katie Graham sadly lost their lives on the N80 road on this day last year.
FATAL CRASH
The group were travelling in a red Lexus car which crashed into a tree in a high-speed impact collision on the N80 at Leagh on the Wexford road at about 11.30pm.
Garda Superintendent Anthony Farrell, who attended the scene, said last year: “In my 25 years of service, [this is] probably one of the most severe cases that I’ve attended. It was really, really traumatic.”
Gardai believe the pals were in a Circle K shop outside Carlow before they got into the car and were travelling to the village of Ballon at the time.
The crash had a high-speed impact and one local heard the “loud bang” before running out to the scene in a bid to help. He was helped by others as they put out a small fire at the rear of the car.
Fr Tom Little, the local parish priest, said last year that many lives had already been claimed on the same stretch of road.
LIVES LOST
He said: “There’s a well sign-posted bend, but it’s claimed the lives of a number of people who have had an accident in that particular place. But I don’t know what happened.”
The N80 at Leagh is currently closed and will remain closed for a number of hours as Garda Forensic Collision Investigators examine the scene.
Gardai have urged anyone who may have any information on the crash that took place in the early hours of this morning to come forward.
APPEAL
A garda spokesperson said: “Gardai are appealing for any witnesses to this collision to come forward.
“It is understood the vehicle involved in this collision was travelling from Mount Leinster to Carlow town via Fenagh.
“Any road users who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) and were travelling along this route, or who were on the N80 at Leagh between midnight and 1.15am are asked to make this footage available to Gardai.
“Anyone with any information is asked to contact Carlow Garda station on 059 913 6620, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.”
Marcus Rashford must knuckle down at Man Utd and copy perfect pro Harry Maguire – he didn’t act like a baby
IMAGINE if, 18 months ago, you had told Manchester United fans that Harry Maguire would be handed a new contract and Marcus Rashford would be frozen out.
They’d have wanted to burn down Old Trafford.
Which just goes to show you the importance of showing a good professional attitude in times of adversity.
So my message to Rashford would be this: Stop talking, certainly stop posting on social media, knuckle down and prove to Ruben Amorim and your team-mates that you deserve to be a United player.
And remember what it was like for Maguire a year or two ago — which is far worse than anything that’s happened to Rashford.
Erik ten Hag humiliated Maguire by stripping him of the club captaincy.
Every time Maguire was partly responsible for a United or England goal, entire press conferences would be dominated by questions over his form.
Yet Maguire was a perfect pro, he stuck to the task of proving himself and here he is now as a key member of United’s first team and with a contract extension until 2026.
Maguire never said he wanted a transfer. He didn’t go on social media. He didn’t act like a baby.
Remember the timeline. When Amorim took over at United, Rashford started the first two Premier League games, scoring three goals.

Two weeks later, he was left out of the squad for the Manchester derby, which United won, along with Alejandro Garnacho.
Within days Marcus was conducting an interview in which he said he was ready for a new challenge elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Garnacho worked his way back into the first team, which shows what can happen if you don’t act like a prima donna.
If Rashford remains at Old Trafford beyond Monday’s transfer deadline, he needs to follow Maguire’s example.
People keep telling me I’m harsh on Marcus but there is nothing personal. Marcus needs to realise that there is no agenda against him.
When he was doing great things on and off the pitch, he was lavished with praise. He even got an MBE!
I’d love it if in a year’s time I was writing an apology here, saying that I’d got it totally wrong about him. But I doubt if I will have reason to.
If I do sound harsh then it’s because I know from personal experience that far worse happens to footballers who have done nothing wrong.
Players get singled out by managers, frozen out of teams and bombed out of clubs all the time.
I’ll give you a few personal examples.
One was when the Italian coach Walter Mazzarri came to Watford and rarely started me, frequently suggesting in public that I wasn’t giving enough in training.
This was entirely unjustified. You could accuse me of having a bad game or a bad spell but never a bad work ethic.
But at least Rashford can have arguments with Amorim in English.
Mazzarri could barely speak a word, so we often found ourselves trying to have blazing rows via an interpreter.
We’d rant and rage at each other — with this poor interpreter stuck between two big blokes with big egos with steam coming out of their eyes — and by the time he’d translated what either of us said, the sting had gone out of the argument.
It was like if you’re having a row with your missus on the phone and just as you’re getting to your best point, you lose phone reception — you can never really start the argument properly again!
Then, after Watford were relegated in 2020, I was one of five senior pros who were frozen out of the first-team squad and made to train away from the main group because they wanted to off-load us for financial reasons.
We didn’t like it but we always turned up on time, trained properly and didn’t complain publicly.
I ended up staying that season, because a move to Tottenham couldn’t be finalised, and I played my part in winning promotion.
The previous season, Nigel Pearson arrived as manager and challenged me — just to prove to the rest of the dressing room that nobody was safe.
I respected Nigel and on that occasion, a combative approach worked.
When I managed Forest Green Rovers briefly last season, I did publicly criticise my players.
I want to manage again and, if I do, I’d keep that sort of criticism in house.
Thierry Henry recently told me that he’d had a go at his players in the media while managing Monaco.
He said players of our generation could take it but that times have changed. I agree.
Now players are rewarded with £300,000-a-week, five-year contracts for half-decent form, then think the world owes them a living and that they’re above taking any stick.
So I have no problem with Amorim calling out Rashford — even last weekend’s jibe that he would rather have his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach on the bench, rather than a player who didn’t give his all.
Amorim is setting standards, building foundations.
He’s the sort of manager I’d have loved to work for and he’s United’s best hope in years.
Rashford was once United’s great hope but not any more.
I don’t foresee a future for him at Old Trafford and he will never go down as a club legend, merely a decent player who came through the ranks but lost his way.
Maybe I’ll be proved wrong. Maybe I’ll write that apology. But I’m not holding my breath.
Man Utd ratings vs FCSB as Mainoo shines in new role but one team-mate struggles
KOBBIE MAINOO ran the show as Manchester United marched on in the Europa League in Romania.
SunSport’s Henry Tomlinson has given his ratings of the United players against FCSB…
Altay Bayindir – 6
He was often a bystander during the game despite the hosts often getting up the pitch.
Did show that he needs to work on his ball control with his feet with a few sloppy clearances.
Noussair Mazraoui – 7
Battled well at times as he took up the third centre-back role.
Did very little wrong throughout the match.
Matthijs de Ligt – 7
Solid showing from the Dutchman in Romania who provided the muscle in the backline.
Lisandro Martinez 70′ – 6
Did well to help out in defence and keep the ball moving forward.
Although, he should never have been allowed to take a decent free-kick opportunity in the first half that he blazed over.
Diogo Dalot – 7
Out on the wing, Dalot struggled to have a good impact on the game and was caught out on occasion when needing to defend.
But proved crucial as he netted the opening goal with a tap in after making a good run at the back post.
Toby Collyer 45′ – 6
Made up one-half of Man United’s academy midfield duo and looked composed throughout the clash.
He did not let the occasion get to him, as he showed plenty of strength when required.
Harshly hooked at half-time.
Kobbie Mainoo – 8
Excelled in a slightly more advanced role to Collyer in the midfielder.
Mainoo set up the opener with a cracking low cross to Dalot before scoring himself with a composed finish.
Tyrell Malacia 45′ – 5
Provided plenty of width in the left-wing-back role and whipped in a couple of decent crosses.
Was replaced at the break
Christian Eriksen 70′ – 6
Forced a decent save inside 20 minutes and linked the play between the midfield and final third.
Fell off during the second half and was replaced by Casemiro.
Bruno Fernandes – 6
Had a couple of moans at the referee in the first half and was largely quiet.
Benefitted from the changes at the break as he had more natural attackers to link up with.
Rasmus Hojlund 80′ – 5
The misfiring striker put in plenty of effort as he was often making runs.
Had a decent chance with his head but failed to get enough power on it to trouble the goalkeeper.
SUBS
Amad Diallo 45′ – 6
Added a bit more threat on the wing after replacing Malacia.
Alejandro Ganracho 45′ – 7
Almost made an instant impact as he latched onto a loose ball but his effort hit the wrong side of the post.
Picked up an assist with a decent pass to Mainoo.
Leny Yoro 70′ – 6
Slotted into the backline to help see out the game.
Casemiro 70′ – 6
Dropped deep into the midfield and gave himself as an option for defenders to pass to do move the ball forward.
Joshua Zirkzee 80′ – 5
Did not get much of an opportunity to grab a goal.
I tried newest Cadbury bar in decades – it tastes absolutely delicious & took me by surprise
CHOCOLATE fans can rejoice as a new flavour of the nation’s favourite bar has just been released.
Cadbury‘s Dairy Milk has unveiled a unique version of the sweet treat – for a limited time.
I tried the delicious new chocolate flavour[/caption] Cadbury’s have unveiled a limited edition flavour[/caption]As a chocolate lover, I decided to give it a try and reveal my honest opinion.
Personally, the Golden Crisp flavour reigns supreme when it comes to chocolate, but this one took me by surprise.
First of all, the bar itself still has the classic creamy taste of a Dairy Milk, which earns it points right off the bat.
The added ingredient is Mini Eggs, the famous Easter treat beloved by people across the country.
The small chocolate egg has been crushed up and added to the squares.
It gives the bar an added crunch and a burst of sweetness that contrasts nicely with the rich chocolate flavour.
Chocolate purists might not be the biggest fan as the mini eggs do take away from the overall cocoa taste.
But those who want something a little extra in their chocolate bars will enjoy the crunchy texture.
And the different flavoured eggs can definitely be tasted – yellow and pink, for example, taste completely different.
It means that each bite of the bar tastes truly unique.
But the added sweetness of the Mini Eggs means that the treat can feel a little much.
I paired it with a cup of tea and would recommend holding back on the sugar lumps in your mug – there’s plenty already in this Dairy Milk option.
Overall, between the rich chocolate flavour broken up by a sweet crunch, I would rate the bar a seven out of ten.
Not quite as high as the Golden Crisp which is always a solid nine, but still well worth the try while it’s available.
Cadbury executives said the new flavour is “delicious”.
Announcing the new option on Instagram, Cadbury said: “Packed with delicious Mini Egg pieces, this limited-edition flavour is the first new addition to the Cadbury Dairy Milk small bars range (54g) in over two decades.”
And people can’t wait to try it – shoppers took to the comment section to rave about the new flavour.
One person said: “Can’t wait to try!”
Another commented: “I’m running.”
Somebody else said: “Yesss.”
Shoppers are so excited about the new flavour[/caption] I rated the bar a seven out of ten[/caption]
