Overview
- Alan McCluskey, 23, was laid to rest in Drumconrath, Co Meath, and a later service in Ardee honored his friend Dylan Commins, 23.
- Gardaí responded to a separate fatal crash on Ardee’s Main Street that killed a man in his 80s and forced Commins’ funeral cortege to divert.
- The November 15 collision near Dundalk involved a Volkswagen Golf and a Toyota Land Cruiser on the L3168/Ardee Road, leaving five friends aged 21–23 dead.
- A sixth person from the Golf has been discharged from hospital, while the Land Cruiser’s two occupants in their 20s remain treated for non‑life‑threatening injuries.
- Further services are set for Saturday for Chloe McGee and Shay Duffy, and Garda appeals for witnesses and dash‑cam footage continue as the investigation proceeds.
