Tomorrow, marks the 14th anniversary of the death of 20-year-old Fintan Traynor, who was tragically killed in a hit and run collision near Clontibret.
In the early hours of Sunday, the 26th of June 2011, Fintan was walking home after a night out in Castleblayney.
Fintan was struck by a car on the Lemgare Road, which links the villages of Clontibret and Annyalla with Derrynoose and Keady in Co. Armagh.
The driver of the vehicle failed to stop and fled the scene.
