The male driver of one of the cars, aged in his teens, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to a garda press statement.

“Gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed this collision to come forward. Gardaí are also appealing to anyone who was in the Tullybuck, Clontibret area yesterday evening between 11.15pm and midnight to contact them.

“Any road users who were travelling in the area and who may have camera footage (including dash cam) is asked to make it available to investigating Gardaí.”

    They missed the smartphone and tablet boat big time. I’d say they’re only splitting them in the hope that someone will buy the pc business from them like Lenovo and IBM back in the day. I think at one stage Lenovo made an offer for the pc arm when one of HPs more shortlived chairmen announced they were gone cease production shortly after releasing their new tablet OS a few years ago. It was a shame because those tablets were supposed to be good.
