The man killed in a crash on the Castleblayney to Dundalk Road was a German native living locally.
Gardaí are continuing their investigations today following the incident which took place at around 10.30am yesterday between the border and Hackballscross in Louth.
It is believed that the German national, who was in his 50, was living just outside Inniskeen but he has not yet been named.
Gardaí are appealing for anyone with information to come forward who may have seen the collision involving the two cars and a lorry.
