'Surely human life takes precedence over agreement'

In April, 5,000 people brought Killorglin to a standstill in a bid to save Billy Burke's life. Donal Hickey was there on that emotion-filled day.

IT could be described as a final, emotion-driven plea to save the life of a brave man who desperately wanted to live.

Anyone who was in Killorglin for the Billy Burke Rally on April 19 last won't forget the depth of feelings that speakers and the estimated 5,000 people walking through the streets voiced on that day.
