My thoughts are with their families. Had some tears in my eyes, I went to college in Galway and just drove past the spot where it happened 3 hours before the accident.

The N17 really needs to be upgraded, parts of it are dangerous and I have seen way too many accidents on it. If it were at least a 2+2 road with a barrier in the middle, this kind of accident couldn't happen.

The truck and car got towed past work today.. Horrific to think there was five girls in what was left of the car

Totally agree Matt, have driven that road many times myself, and had one or two scary moments doing so. It's so upsetting to see the sh** that goes on wasting money in the Governmental dept's, and then you have stretches of main routes in a shambles:mad:

Irrespective of that, seeing the reports on the news had me in tears....just thinking that there's five devastated families around the country today, as well as a truck driver who will have to live with the memories of this for the rest of his life. God love those who came upon the scene as well....words are really no good at times like this. Deepest sympathies to all those affected by this tragedy...xx

Terrible tragedy.

My heart goes out to the families and friends, such a terrible thing to have to deal with. Christmas will be impossible for them.

Rest in peace girls.. from a third year geography student in NUI Galway. College was so tough today. I didn't know whether i recognised the girls from college or the shop i work at in county galway. Its hard when you can't put names to faces. My heart goes out to all their friends and family. Our communities are plunged into mourning at this shocking tragic loss. xxx

Everyone, please be extra careful on the roads till next week. They're in a dreadful state

Condolences to the families involved.
