Trawler victim to be laid to rest

There were emotional scenes as hundreds attended the removal of the youngest victim of the sinking of the trawler Tit Bonhomme, which hits rocks off the South-West coast.

Last night, the coffin of Kevin Kershaw, 21, was shouldered from O’Sullivan’s Funeral Home in Clonakilty, Co Cork, to the nearby parish church by his grieving father, Patrick, and brothers, Ciaran and Trevor.

Kevin’s mother, Margaret, followed closely behind and was comforted by friends and other relatives as they made their way to the church where Kevin’s requiem mass will be held at noon today, prior to burial in his native Dublin.
