Tributes have been paid to a man in his 40's who was killed in a road traffic accident in Tipperary over the weekend.
Joe Lawlor was found dead at 9.45am on Sunday morning after crashing into a large tree in the village of Portroe, Co Tipperary.
He was pronounced dead at the scene and his body was removed to Limerick University Hospital for a post mortem examination.
Mr Lawlor’s local darts club paid tribute to the Portroe man on Sunday night.
The Facebook post read: “Joe Lawlor was not just “The Entertainer” on a darts night, he was a story teller, a singer, a joker, a man who would put you in good form no matter how down you felt,” wrote the post. “Darts will never be the same again, who will put the tunes on? Who will light the place up with their jokes and craic? Seymour’s Darts Club with the heaviest of hearts extend our deepest condolences to the Lawlor family and Joe’s many, many friends. May ‘The Entertainer’ rest in peace.”
Gardaí are now appealing for witnesses who may have been on the road to contact them.
