The sister of a young Longford teenager killed after being struck by a bus last week has told his funeral of how the midlands town "will never be the same again", telling mourners her brother was the “best man to ever walk” its streets.
Melissa McDonnell said she and her family were still coming to terms with the tragic circumstances that surrounded her brother, Martin’s tragic death last Thursday.
19-year-old Martin McDonnell, Farnagh, Longford, was fatally injured after he was struck by a Bus Éireann bus as he walked along the Convent Road area of the midlands town shortly after 6pm.
