The mass was held for local man Shay Duffy and his four friends who lost their lives in the car accident that occurred before 9pm last Saturday night on the Ardee Rd in Dundalk.

Hundreds of people also took part in a vigil last night to remember the five young people.

Three separate vigils were arranged in Ardee, Drumconrath and Aughnamullen to pay tribute to the five friends.
