Victims of head-on collision laid to rest

GRIEF-STRICKEN communities yesterday buried two men in their 40s, who were killed in a head-on crash in Mitchelstown, Co Cork, last Monday.

Noted as having a great sense of humour, agricultural contractor Willie O’Donoghue, 44, would have approved of the send-off he got.

Model farm machinery lay on his coffin at the requiem Mass at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Mitchelstown. The coffin was then put on a tractor and trailer which took it on the short journey to Brigown graveyard.
