A priest at the funeral of the eldest of the three teenagers who lost their lives when their car entered the river Corrib in Galway said that a parent should never have to bury one of their children.
Fr Kevin Blade was speaking at the Church of the Resurrection in Ballinfoyle in Galway at the funeral mass of Christopher Stokes (19).
He died along with his neighbour John Keenan Sammon (16) and friend Wojcieck Panek (17) when their car entered the water at Menlo Pier in the early hours of Saturday morning.
