A two-year-old has died after being hit by a car while on holiday in the Republic of Ireland. The British toddler was believed to have been staying at a property in Co Roscommon with his parents and was killed close to the house where he and his family had been staying. A local said the family were visiting the area in Ballinagare, where they have connections. Fianna Fail councillor Paschal Fitzmaurice told PA news agency: “Members of the local community are shocked and saddened at the death of a toddler. “It is not a typical place for holiday homes but it is a quiet location for visitors.”
