A Donegal priest has warned young people in particular against becoming “isolated in grief” in the wake of the tragic January 27 car crash in which four young men died.
Gweedore priest Fr Brian O’Fearraigh, who attended the scene of the collision, said to young people affected by the incident: “Care for yourself, you are extremely important to your family, friends and community. Please don’t feel isolated or alienated in your grief, you have support.”
He added the parishes would “rally around” family and friends to help “make the journey of grief more bearable”.
The four men, Shaun Harkin, Mícheal Roarty, John Harley and Daniel Scott, will be buried today (Thursday) after the crash on Sunday night. Tributes have been paid to each of them by the local community, respresentatives, GAA teams and more.
The emergency services were called to the single car collision shortly before 9am on Sunday. Gardaí have appealed for witnesses to the incident to contact Milford Garda Station on 074 915 3060 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.
