The names of eight men killed in a two-car crash in Co Donegal, described as the worst collision in the history of the State, have been released by gardaí.

The men died when a black Volkswagen Passat, in which eight young men were travelling, was in collision with a red Toyota Corolla last night on the Buncrana to Clonmany Road.
