‘Miracle did not come’ as tributes flood in for teen

“We prayed for a miracle but unfortunately, it did not come to pass.”

Those were the words of Leon Connon’s school principal yesterday as he paid an emotional tribute to the Cork teenager who lost his fight for life following a freak accident in Kinsale at the weekend.

Kinsale Community School principal Fergal McCarthy said the school community is heartbroken following Leon’s death on Tuesday.
