The Bishop of Galway Michael Duignan said that the deaths of three teenagers on the outskirts of the city last weekend when their car entered the River Corrib had shocked the whole country.
Bishop Duignan, speaking at the funeral of the youngest of the three victims, 16-year old John Keenan Sammon, said it was difficult to come to terms with the triple tragedy.
He offered his sympathy to the teenager’s family, and also the families of Christy Stokes (19) and Wojcieck Panek (17) who died in the incident which happened near Menlo Pier in the early hours of Saturday morning.
