But of course, no number can hide the reality in terms of personal tragedy and upset at the loss that the families and friends behind each of those numbers feel.
They died in a fatal collision between a car and a lorry on Tuesday at around 5.45pm on the N26 in Lismoran, Foxford, Co Mayo.The driver of the lorry was taken to hospital with injuries understood to be non-life threatening. "It has plunged the communities into deep sadness with this news. It's terrible that a mother and her daughter would lose their lives so tragically at the one time. I extend my heartfelt sympathies to those communities and the family, the extended family and the friends of the mother and daughter who lost their lives."
He added that Swinford is "a close community" and that "people will rally around the family following the tragedy".
