The bus driver who died in the Cork Harbour bus tragedy has been remembered as a devoted and loving father, and a loyal friend and colleague who put his life on the line during the pandemic to serve others.

Mourners at Mark Wills’ funeral Mass this morning were also told that he and the other victim of Tuesday’s tragedy, Fr Con Cronin, were “cut from the same cloth” and would have got on well together.
