The heartbroken fiancee of murdered Irish soldier Sean Rooney has revealed how the pair were planning to get married next year.
Grieving Holly McConnellogue says brave Sean, who was gunned down in the Lebanon while on a UN peacekeeping mission, was doing a second stint in the war-torn Middle Eastern country so that he could save for their wedding day.
Distraught Holly said that she is “absolutely heartbroken”, but that she finds comfort from the fact her partner “died doing what he loved and serving his country”.
