Two teenage girls have been killed - and three other people injured - in a crash in County Monaghan.
It happened at Legnakelly on the N54 Clones to Smithborough road shortly before 7 o'clock yesterday evening as the group were making their way to a Debs.
The two girls, aged 16 and 17, were pronounced dead at the scene.
Two other passengers are being treated at Cavan General Hospital - an 18 year old girl in a critical condition and an 18 year old boy with non-life-threatening injuries.
The 60 year old man who was driving the car is also in a critical condition at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.

A once-in-a-decade celestial event is happening in the skies above us this week.
The Moon is currently the closest it can be to Earth, making it up to 30 per cent brighter than usual, and earning the title of SuperMoon.
