‘Shock and gloom’ hangs over Kerry community

There is a “sense of awful shock and gloom” hanging over the Co Kerry parishes of Causeway and Ballyduff after the death of 74-year-old farmer Anthony O’Mahony in an incident involving another local farmer.

According to Fr Brendan Walsh, however, the spirit of solidarity that exists in rural Ireland will help the community in the next few days.

“There are two families this morning who are absolutely devastated,” Fr Walsh said.
