THE young son of a Co Limerick farmer who was tragically killed when he went to help feed cattle, was a country boy at heart who wanted to get stuck in and involved with the many activities on the farm, mourners heard yesterday.

NEIGHBOURING north Kerry and west Limerick parishes were last night trying to come to terms with tragedies that claimed the lives of a young solider and a schoolboy.
