Funeral of boy killed at family farm

THE young son of a Co Limerick farmer who was tragically killed when he went to help feed cattle, was a country boy at heart who wanted to get stuck in and involved with the many activities on the farm, mourners heard yesterday.

Hundreds attended the funeral of Jeremiah Carmody, 10, who was killed on Monday when he was hit by a van while crossing a road near a field where he helped tend cattle.

The accident happened near his home at Dirreen, Athea.
