Talented sportsman Niall O’Brien, who died last week following an altercation during a holiday in Greece, was remembered at his funeral Mass today as a “loyal, witty, warm rogue” who left his family and friends with a “legacy of love”.
The 21-year-old from Castletroy, Limerick, who hurled for Broadford, Co Clare, was “at the centre of fun — having it, and creating it”, his aunt Pauline said.
