He added: "My thoughts and prayers are with the families involved. It’s a devastating blow for our community."
Gardaí confirmed they are currently at the scene of a single-vehicle fatal road traffic collision, near Cashel, County Tipperary, that occurred earlier this evening, Tuesday, 29th August.
Initial indications are that there are a "number of persons deceased", with the incident believed to have happened near the Windmill, Cashel near the Tesco garage in the town.
The road is currently closed to traffic as emergency services are at the scene.
An Garda Síochána has not provided further information at this time as Gardaí and other emergency services continue their work at the scene.
An Garda Síochána are also in the process of informing families of this tragic incident and request time and space during which to do so.
The tragic news comes after four young people lost their lives last Friday evening in Clonmel.
