‘Be brave enough to talk’, hurling star’s cousin urges

A heartbroken community yesterday heard that people with issues need to speak out and let others know that they are experiencing difficulties.

Hundreds of people braved strong winds and rain to pay their respects to the Galway hurler Niall Donohue, who died on Wednesday evening, just two days before his 23rd birthday.

A cousin of the star hurler urged people to share their problems with others and told the packed congregation at St Columba’s Church in Kilbeacanty in south Co Galway, that Niall himself would be the first to urge others to talk to people.
