Father ‘proud’ Amanda gave life through organ donations

The heartbroken father of a young woman who died following a road traffic collision told her requiem Mass he was “very proud” of his daughter who gave life to five people through organ donation.

Mourners gathered at St Colman’s Cathedral in Cobh, Co Cork, for the funeral mass of Amanda O’Flaherty, and to pay their sympathies to her parents, Michael and Paula, her brothers and sisters and extended family.

The 26-year-old lost her fight for life last Sunday following a road traffic collision the day before at Cow Cross in Cobh, just a mile from her home.
