Parade tribute for victims of house fire

A MINUTE’S silence was observed at the start of the St Patrick’s Day parade in Drogheda yesterday in memory of the three brothers who died tragically in a house fire in the Co Louth town on Monday morning.

Hundreds of people who gathered in the centre of Drogheda for the annual parade stood in silence as the organisers of the event paid tribute to the three young victims of the tragedy.

Drogheda mayor, Councillor Frank Maher, described the incident as the biggest tragedy in Drogheda in years.
