The men were in one of three vehicles which were in a collision on the N21 between Abbeyfeale and Newcastle West, Co Limerick, on Monday at approximately 11pm.
Honestly, that place could use a bypass. The N21 runs right through the middle of town. I expect that the road there and the buildings date back to the pre-car era, when traffic was a lot slower.
Prior to October 2010 the N21 also ran through the town of Castleisland. The town has since been bypassed. Rathkeale was also bypassed in 1992.
It sounds like they were going to bypass this particular stretch and decided against it:
The Adare bypass, which will carry the N21 around the village of Adare, County Limerick, is under construction,[5][6][7] ahead of Adare Manor's hosting of the 2027 Ryder Cup.[8] Originally proposed as part of the Foynes to Limerick Road Improvement Scheme,[9][10] a 33 km (21 mi) bypass of Newcastle West and Abbeyfeale was at the planning stage in 2006. Proposals were rejected by An Bord Pleanala in 2012,[11] and by the National Roads Authority in 2013.[12][13] Updated bypass plans were subject to additional inquiries by An Bord Pleanala in early 2021.[14]

A murderer, ruthless and violent
Was hiding and perfectly silent
The cops couldn't stop him
What finally got him
Were the average drivers of Ireland
