This afternoon.
It’s being reported that a woman, in her late 70s, has died after a tree or large branch fell on her car near the village of Aglish in West Waterford.
She was the sole occupant of the car.
Damien Tiernan, of RTE, reported in the past few minutes.
“I understand it’s a woman… She was in the car and a large branch or section of a tree fell on the car and went through the windscreen.”

A new series of Salon Confidential starts tonight on RTÉ2…
Melanie O’Connor writes:
There’s something about the intimacy of the stylist/client relationship that makes people open up and share their inner most feelings with their hairdresser – things that they wouldn’t even divulge to their best friend.
Hinged on that unique bond Salon Confidential is a brand new television series which tackles life’s big dilemmas and issues exercising the nation.
The clip (above) features Personal Trainer Adam sharing his wisdom on dating with stylist Ciaran.
Salon Confidential on RTÉ2 at 10pm.
Ah here.
