Mrs Brown’s Boys star Danny O’Carroll has revealed plans for two celebrity events in his adopted Co Donegal next month to raise money for two charities — the Buncrana drowning tragedy and suicide prevention.

Two big-hearted people from both sides of the border have raised €70,000 to assist the relatives of the five who died in last Sunday’s drownings in Co Donegal.

Dublin GAA fans have offered to pay tribute to those who died in the Donegal drowning tragedy. Supporters’ clubs have organised a tribute to the five family members who died when their car slipped off Buncrana Pier last Sunday evening.

The sight of five coffins being carried up the steps of the Holy Family Church was beyond heartbreaking.
