Ciaran Keating, an older brother of singer Ronan Keating, has been named locally as the victim of yesterday’s fatal road crash near Swinford, County Mayo.
It is understood Mr Keating, who is in his 50s and lived in Westport, was travelling with his wife, Ann Marie, to watch their son, Ruairi, play for Cork City in a League of Ireland clash with Sligo Rovers.
Mr Keating suffered fatal injuries in the two-vehicle impact in the townland of Ballymiles, about half way between Swinford and Bohola.
His wife Ann Marie, a secondary school teacher, was taken to Mayo University Hospital for treatment for injuries which are understood not to be life threatening.
The male driver of the second vehicle is receiving treatment in hospital for serious injuries.
