Post mortems will take place today on the bodies of a priest and bus driver who were killed in a crash in Monkstown.
Fr. Con Cronin, who was in his 60s, died after being hit by the Bus Eireann bus, which veered out of control in Monkstown around lunchtime yesterday.
The driver, Mark Wills from Ballincollig, who was in his 50s, suffered an apparent cardiac arrest and was also pronounced dead at the scene.
Fianna Fail Councillor, Seamus McGrath, is among those paying tribute to Fr. Cronin.
"It's absolutely heartbreaking, it's shocking news.
"He is someone who gave so much of his life in the community over the last 8 or 9 years, a very kindhearted person and a very generous person.
"For his life to be ended in such a tragic way, people are just numb and very very shocked at the news, and saddened."
