Hundreds of mourners stood in the rain to pay their last respects as a hearse carrying the remains of Michael “Mikey” Kelly, who was known for always having “a smile on his face from ear to ear”.

The 25 year-old from An Mainteach, Nurney, Co Carlow, died last Wednesday night when the car in which he was travelling along with Katie Graham, 19, and Daryl Culbert, 21, skidded after heavy rain in the townland of Leagh, 5kms from Carlow town.
