Mother prepares to bury her ‘right-hand man’

THE brave mother of one of the young men who died in the Inishowen car crash has opened her heart saying: “I blame no one” for the tragedy.

Philomena McEleney, 50, from Clonmany, Inishowen, will be forced to say her final goodbye to her “right-hand man” today when her beloved son, James, 23, is laid to rest.

But the devoted mother of six holds no blame or anger for the driver of the car — the VW Passat, in which her son and six of his young friends lost their lives.
