The Funeral Mass for the three people found dead in Co. Louth last week took place this morning.
The funeral for Louise and Mark O’Connor, and their son Evan took place in St. Patrick’s Church, Dundalk.
Father Gerry Campbell delivered the mass this morning, and he said that the outpouring of love for the O’Connor family has been extraordinary.
He said: "Over these past days, the outpouring of love for the O’Connor and Doherty families has been extraordinary. If you look at website rip.ie, you will ll find nearly thirty pages of condolences —that is unprecedented: all from people who worked with Mark and Louise, from runners, from the Abacas school and the Hub Praxis in Drogheda and from people who, while they may have never met them at all, felt so moved by their story that they reached out.
"When we look at their family, their son and brother Cian who has been exceptionally strong throughout these last days and your very supportive fiancée Shauna. When we think about Sadie, Bernadette and Ann. When we look at: Marcus, Majella, Deirdre and Antoinette as well as Chris, Anita, Caroline, Ruth and Mary. You have been exceptional throughout this long goodbye," Father Campbell added.
