Gardaí have renewed their appeal for witnesses to last Saturday’s fatal Donegal crash, with anyone who was at the scene and has not yet spoken to Gardaí urged to come forward.
Two young men, Caoilan Bushe, 30, from Letterbarrow, near Donegal Town, and Leon Shovlin, 27, from Ardara, both died at the scene of a collision on the main N15 Donegal-Ballybofey road on Saturday afternoon.
The Funeral Mass for the late Mr Bushe will be held on Wednesday.

Two people in the second vehicle, a man and a woman in their 40s, were also taken to Letterkenny University Hospital for treatment of injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.
