Rescue 116 tragedy: ‘Fionn has a village to raise him’

“They say it takes a village to raise a child and he has a village around him now who will raise him on her behalf.”

The late Captain Dara Fitzpatrick leaves behind her three-year old son Fionn, her parents, three sisters, and a brother.

Her sister Niamh has spoken of her family’s heartbreak after losing Capt Fitzpatrick but says the family has no regrets because she lived her life to the very fullest.
