Gardai are investigating the death of Ms Phyllis Mullan (41) of East Hill, Cobb, Co Cork who fell overboard and was struck by the propellors of a local ferry on which she was travelling with her husband and two children on Friday night.
Three people died in a two car crash near Ballon, Co Carlow, early on Saturday morning. An American couple, Arthur and Chris Rinquist, from New York and a local man, Mr David Lyons (27), died in the accident close to the Ballyhealey Country House Hotel, where the Rinquists had been attending a family wedding.
Meanwhile, the man who died at Dublin Airport when struck by the propellor of a small aircraft has been named as Mr Colm Martin (26), of Park Avenue, Swords. He was married with a young son.
It is believed Mr Martin had marshalled a small cargo plane into a parked position at the time of the accident. He bent down to place chocks in front of the wheels and came into contact with a propellor when he stepped away from the aircraft.
