A priest has told the funeral of a teenager killed in a hit-and-run in Co Clare that parents are “full of fear” of the society children are growing up in.

Fr Richard Davern was addressing mourners attending the funeral of 17-year old Bryan Lowe, who was knocked down by a car and dragged under the vehicle, which did not remain at the scene.
