The funerals of four young men, who died in a car crash in County Donegal on Sunday, will take place on Thursday.
Shaun Harkin, John Harley, Mícheal Roarty and Daniel Scott - who were all in their early 20s - died when their Toyota Corolla car left the road and collided with a bridge just outside Gortahork.
- 22-year-old Shaun Harkin’s funeral will take place at in Christ the King Church in Gortahork on Thursday at 10am.
- The funeral of 24-year-old John Harley will take place in St Finnians Church, Falcarragh at 1pm on Thursday afternoon.
- The funeral mass for Mícheal Roarty, who was also 24, will take place on Thursday morning at 11:30am at the Sacred Heart Church in Dunlewey.
- Daniel Scott, who was also in his early 20s, will be remembered at Christ the King Church in Gortahork at 2:30pm on Thursday afternoon.
Maeve Sweeney, the principle of local school, PCC Falcarragh, has said the local community is struggling to come to terms with what happened.
“The lads left a number of years ago but there are still huge connections with the school,” she said.
“We still have a brother of one of the lads still here at the school and lots of cousins and friends.
“It is a very tight-knit community; we are very much a community school of family.
“The lads that have remained here in the community have been very much involved in Gaelic, soccer and golf.
“It is just devastating.”
