A young father who was killed in a road crash while on a mercy mission to visit a seriously ill brother will be laid to rest on Thursday.
Mark McDaid had driven almost 300km to visit his sibling when he was killed in the horror smash early on Sunday morning.
His brother was in hospital in Galway after he received serious injuries while working on a boat in Rossaveal harbour on Monday and Mr McDaid and other family members had been mounting a bedside vigil for several days.
