Pals pay moving tribute to Barney McKenna's son Daragh following his death

A spiritual farewell tribute was held in Howth yesterday in memory of Daragh Aherne Clarke, the son of Barney McKenna from the Dubliners.

The tribute took place just hours after an emotional service which was attended by his family and those who knew him yesterday in Dardistown. Friend Janis Redmond told Dublin Live: "There's so much I could say about Daragh, all my memories, and my thoughts. He was a good and very close friend.

"We used to do things on our own, like walks to the pier and to the beach. He was just a big ball of energy and force with his big hair. He was such a lovable character and had so many friends here.
