The car in which the mother of two was travelling in hit a wall and entered the water in Menlo in Galway almost two weeks ago.

The man in his 40s was pronounced dead at the scene.

Jimmy Rowe will be laid to rest on Friday afternoon following funeral mass at noon in St. Matthews Church, Ballymahon.

The woman is the 8th person to die on Ireland's roads already this year.

The three people who lost their lives have been named as 45-year-old Thomas O'Reilly, his wife, 46-year-old Bridget O'Reilly, and 3-year-old, Tom.

The people who died were a man in his 20s who was driving the car and three adult teenage girls who were passengers.

The collision happened shortly before two o' clock on Saturday night/Sunday morning.

No one was injured in the incident but the road was blocked for a time.
