Two young men killed by car driven by garda laid to rest

TWO young men who died after being struck by a car driven by an off-duty garda were yesterday laid to rest amid a continuing investigation into the incident.

Gavin O’Callaghan, 20, of Courtown Drive in Knocknaheeny, and Mark Farrell, 29, of Lotamore Drive in Mayfield, were buried yesterday in separate Cork city ceremonies.

Flanked by his relatives and friends, Mr O’Callaghan’s remains were brought to the Church of the Resurrection in Farranree just after midday before the young man was buried at St Catherine’s Cemetery in Kilcully.
