Vigil to be arrested after fatal collision of four young persons

Four young individuals who tragically lost their lives in a car accident in Clonmel, County Tipperary, will be commemorated in a separate ceremony at a later date.

Luke McSweeney, who was 24 years old, and his sister, Grace McSweeney, who was 18 years old, passed away in the accident. Also, two other 18-year-olds, Nicole Murphy and Zoey Coffey, lost their lives in the crash.

The three young people were heading to meet their friends to celebrate getting their Leaving Cert exam results.

The Irish TV station RTÉ knows that the car, which was going downhill, crashed and rolled over.

The gathering will take place at 6:30 pm at Denis Burke Park in Clonmel.

On Saturday, Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar and President Michael D Higgins paid their respects to the deceased.
The students were going somewhere to meet their friends and have a party to celebrate their Leaving Cert exam results.

Two school leaders have also honored the students who got their test scores just before the accident.

Michael O’Loughlin, a student from Presentation Secondary School where Ms Coffey and Ms McSweeney went, stated that instead of having a joyful day, they were feeling immense sadness and a strong feeling of missing them greatly.

He said that both the school and the town are very sad and destroyed because of the deaths of the students who were loved by everyone who knew them.
Anne McGrath, the head of Loreto Secondary School where Ms Murphy went, said she was excited to begin the next part of her life.

The principal said she was a “pretty student” who was liked and respected by everyone at the school.

We are very sad, hurt, and upset, and there are no words that can fully describe how we feel.
The leader offered his sympathy to the families and friends of the people who died, as well as the whole community of Clonmel.

Mr Varadkar said that everyone in the country is thinking about them, their school, and their community.

President Higgins stated that the families of the victims have the support and empathy of all parents, relatives, and the entire community.

He said that the sadness felt by the community is almost too much to handle.
Several events that were scheduled for Saturday in the town had to be canceled.

Loreto, Presentation Secondary, and other schools in the town helped students and their families after the crash by opening on Saturday.

Irish Education Minister Norma Foley has promised important help for students and staff in the near future.
