Family puts differences to one side for Dean’s removal

The parents of Dean Fitzpatrick put aside their differences yesterday for the removal of their son, who died tragically outside his mother’s apartment in Dublin last month.

However, the divisions which have beset Dean’s family since the disappearance of his younger sister, Amy, in Spain five years ago, and which intensified following his death on May 26, were still evident.

Dean’s father Christopher and his estranged wife Audrey sat in different rows of the Church of the Holy Trinity in Donaghmede, Dublin.
