So tragic. RIP.
The man, aged in his early 20s, was with a group of friends on the island of Ios when the freak incident happened on Sunday.
From west Limerick, he was a talented GAA player, known for both his hurling and Gaelic football skills while representing his local club. The sudden death of the "accomplished sportsman" has caused shock and sadness among the local community. Emmett O'Brien, an Independent Councillor for Adare-Rathkeale, said people were "shocked beyond belief" at the terrible news. "My thoughts and sympathies are with his family, I knew him personally very well through GAA and socialising."He was an extraordinarily nice-mannered and friendly young gentleman and there is utter devastation in the parish after his passing."For the latest news and breaking news visit irishmirror.ie/news.
