Community to hold fundraiser in honour of Cork priest and bus driver killed in horror road crash

Fr Con Cronin, who was a native of Coomhola in Bantry, was a member of the St Patrick's Missionary Society for almost 49 years and had served as curate in Passage West since 2012.
A popular Cork priest and the driver of a bus which killed him in a horror accident in Cork will be remembered at a fundraising concert in the priest’s last parish this weekend.
Fr Con Cronin, 72, was leaving the Bosun restaurant in Monkstown on August 3, 2021, when a bus hit and fatally injured him. The bus driver, Ballincollig father of two Mark Wills, 51, had suffered a cardiac episode which also resulted in his death.
