Parents of Cork fireplace death boy: "His loss leaves a huge void"

On the day they buried their 5-year-old son, the Cork couple whose little boy died after a fireplace fell on him have said “it will be a long time, if ever, before we come to terms with what has happened”.

The tragedy took place at the family home on the outskirts of Cork City.

Little Fionn Dawson was buried yesterday at St Joseph’s Church, Springhill, in a private ceremony that the media was requested not to attend.
