Leaving Cerificate student succumbs to car crash injuries

A family of eight were yesterday trying to come to terms with the tragic death of a student who was in the middle of his Leaving Certificate exams.

The Quigley family from Rearcross, Co Tipperary, had kept a vigil beside Kieran Quigley, 17, who died on Tuesday after sustaining injuries in a car crash last weekend.

It was the second tragedy to affect the family — Kieran’s father, Donie, passed away suddenly a little over a year ago.
