A talented young sportsman has died during his Leaving Certificate examinations.

Luke O’Brien May, aged 18, from Grange, Co Limerick, fell ill suddenly last week. He had completed his last exam in biology last Tuesday. The Castletroy College pupil was immediately brought to University Hospital Limerick and later transferred to Cork University Hospital. He died on Sunday.

School principal Padraig Flanagan said “a very valued member of the school community” is being mourned.
