Tributes to 'one of life's gentlemen' as Irishman killed in horror crash named

The young man killed in a horror weekend crash near the Cavan/Leitrim border has been named locally as Fred Tully.

Mr Tully, from Cardonagh in Donegal, was pronounced dead at the scene after the motorbike he was travelling in crashed on the R202 at Corratillan, Corlough, Co Cavan.

And tributes have been pouring in from family and friends of Mr Tully after his sad passing.

The Glen Bar in Cardonagh said they were "devastated" by the loss.

In a social media post they said: "We are truly devastated to hear of the loss of our friend Freddie Tully, a gentle soul with such a kind heart. We'll miss your happy face coming through the door, you made those quiet evenings fly in. Our thoughts are with his mum Pat and sister Ann."

Gone But Not Forgotten Bikers is a memorial group which operates in Ulster but remembers those who have been killed nationwide in crashes.

Those who knew Mr Tully flocked to the page in order to pay tribute.
