Council vice chair opens up about tragic crash that killed young grandson

The vice chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council has thanked his colleagues for their support following the tragic death of his grandson.

Philip Rainey was just 21 when he was killed in a car crash on the M1 near Stangmore, Dungannon as he made his way to collect his partner and new baby son from hospital on September 7. Emergency services dashed to the scene but tragically Philip passed away from his injuries.

It fell to Councillor Allan Rainey’s party colleague, Councillor Victor Warrington, to break the harrowing news to a stunned Council Chamber later that day at the Environmental Services Committee meeting.
