Man found in Dublin park laid to rest

The man who died in St Stephen’s Green on Monday was buried yesterday in his home village in Kerry.

Thomas Kearney, of Ballyhennessy, Lixnaw, was laid to rest days after he was discovered in the Dublin city centre park by a homeless man and some passers-by.

Family and friends were distraught that he had been described in some reports as being homeless. However, the 31-year-old had travelled to the capital last weekend for Sunday’s football league final between Kerry and Dublin.
