Meanwhile, the woman who died after being hit by a car on Saturday evening in Ashbourne, Co Meath, has been named locally. She was Theresa Morgan. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made. In Donegal, the community of Lifford is in mourning for 82-year-old Bernie Cranley. Ms Cranley was the driver of a silver Toyota Vitz that was involved in a collision with a blue Suzuki Vitara over the weekend. The incident took place on the Mellon Road between Omagh and Newtownstewart near the Ulster American Folk Park at about 12.30pm on Saturday. The other driver, a woman in her 70s, was taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment for serious injuries.
