A sense of shock and sadness is consuming communities in Louth, Monaghan and Meath. On Saturday night, five young friends were heading for a night out. We can all identify with the sense of joy, excitement and fun that they were experiencing. That was turned on its head in an instant. My heart goes out to the families of Chloe McGee from Carrickmacross, Alan McCluskey from Drumconrath, Dylan Commins from Ardee, Shay Duffy from Carrickmacross and Chloe Hipson from Lanarkshire. We offer them our sincerest condolences and pay tribute to the emergency services personnel who attended the scene. Our thoughts are with the families of the deceased, their communities and their colleagues. I measc na naomh go raibh siad.
