Community united in grief as two young crash victims laid to rest
As best friends, Stephanie McCauley, 15, and Vanessa Byrne, 13, had been altar servers in Avoca, Co Wicklow and played camogie with the local club. Yesterday, the two teenagers were buried together.
In one of the biggest funerals held in the village, hundreds of mourners stood silently behind the two black hearses as they stopped for a brief moment at the spot where the girls were killed.
