One-sided funeral as mother’s body laid to rest

THE funeral which divided two families in the High Court earlier this week went ahead yesterday, with just mourners from one side present.

Kathleen McCarthy O’Reilly, 22, was laid to rest in Kilcornan, Co Limerick in the absence of her partner, Timmy O’Reilly, their two children and the extended O’Reilly family.

More than 300 mourners from the McCarthy side of the family walked behind the bronze casket as it was brought from Kilcornan church to the adjacent cemetery where Kathleen was buried in a grave near her grandparents.
