Aodhán, 14, remembered as a ‘laoch spóirt’

“Aodhán, you brought smiles to people’s faces, your witty comments, your dry sense of humour, and sometimes mimicking people.”

Fr Joseph Begley was speaking at the funeral Mass of Aodhán Ó Conchúir, the 14-year-old Kerry student who died from injuries sustained while playing football for his school a week ago.

He told the congregation that last weekend, Aodhán’s parents, John and Áine, and his sister Ciara, had made a decision to donate his organs at Cork University Hospital.
