THE funeral took place
yesterday of a young student who was killed in a
hit-and-run accident in Carndonagh last weekend. Joe
McLaughlin, a final-year engineering student at NUI
Galway, died instantly when he was hit by a car at
Tiernaleague, a short distance from his home in
Glasha, Carndonagh. |

The driver failed to
stay at the scene, however, a man presented himself
at the local Garda station later that day. Mr
McLaughlin, 23, was a former member of Carndonagh
GAA Club and was described by club chairman Anthony
Burke as "a lovely young man" whom he would be
"proud to call my own". Chief mourners at the
funeral in his hometown yesterday were his parents
Willie Joe, a farmer and Mary, a retired nurse and
his three sisters. Mr McLaughlin was laid to rest
following midday Requiem Mass at the Church of the
Sacred Heart. |
