Conor’s son to be named in his honour, funeral told

The priest officiating at the funeral of a man who was fatally stabbed on the street last week has questioned why people carry knives when they result in so much tragedy.

Conor Quinn, aged 24, was buried in St Michael’s Cemetery in Tipperary yesterday, after a funeral Mass where mourners heard that the baby due to be born to his partner Stephanie within the next few days will also be named Conor.

Also present at the funeral Mass were the deceased’s parents Paul and Teresa, brother Anthony, sister Sinead, and grandparents and many other relations and friends.
