The man who died in a fatal road traffic collision on Achill island yesterday has been named locally as Alan Callaghan.
The Newport native, in his 40s, had been visiting Ireland from the US when he was hit by a vehicle at Doonagh in the early hours of Monday morning.
The tragedy has led to an outpouring of sorrow and loss among the community, according to local reports, and the funeral arrangements will be announced later today.
