    Hi all,

    There seems to have been a serious accident on the N59 Moycullen road just at the Glenlo Abbey. Comming in to Galway from Moycullen there is car completly totalled - It looks really bad. The gardai have sealed off the road and diversions are in place. Anybody know what happened?

    Update http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/1003/rta.html

    RIP

    Before family is notified and the name is official and can be linked to, I'd appreciate if any clues to the identity of the deceased is not posted.

    RIP

    He was a very good friend of mine too. An absolute gentleman, a character, loving husband and father, generous to a fault and an all round good egg.

    I couldn't believe it when i got the call yesterday morning and i still can't.

    It's a tragic tragic loss

    RIP

    Pls refrain until it's somewhere you can link (although all local people know already).

    Only met him a handful of times but was struck by what a genuinely nice person he was.

    Dave was a true gent, hospitable landlord and one of the best bar managers I have had the pleasure of working for and with!!

    Dave, you will be missed buddy.
    My thoughts are most certainly with Joan and the kids at this time.

    Having dealt with Dave and Joan in business over the years, I am deeply saddened by the tragic death of Dave on Saturday Morning Last. Dave was a gentleman and he recently showed me around the new upstairs venue in Kellys Bar that he was so excited about. He was a very unassuming guy and my prayers and wishes go to Joan and the children plus the extended Kelly and Grealish Families at this sad time.

    May he rest in peace.

    As a tribute to Dave, 26 of his family and friends are going to run the dublin city marathon on monday by relay. Joan and the kids will run the anchor leg.

    Dave was signed up for the race and was really looking forward to it so we're gonna insure his number gets around the course and over the finish line. We will be recognisable by our bright red t-shirts and a complete lack of physical fitness.

    Dave was a diabetic but never let it get in the way of a full life. He was a great family man, business man, marathon runner, golfer and he enjoyed the craic as much as the next man and was a great friend to many. His eldest daughter is also a diabetic.

    Money is being raised for The Galway Diabetes Parents Support Group who offer counseling, advice and education to the parents of children diagnosed with diabetes.

    If anyone would like to sponsor the race, donations can be made in Kelly's Bar or by following this link http://www.mycharity.ie/event/diabetes_marathon_relay/
