‘Parents have no option but to be tough sometimes’

Parents have no option but to be tough sometimes on their children and this can lead to tussles and conflict, a priest told a congregation at the funeral Mass of a 15-year-old whose body was recovered from the River Shannon.

Fr Pat Seaver also warned the packed church, at the Mass for Chloe Kinsella, of the dangers and harm caused by alcohol.

The body of the 15-year-old Limerick girl was recovered six days after she went missing from her home at Kileely.
