Funeral to take place this morning of young boy who drowned tragically in Maynooth

The funeral of a young teenager who tragically drowned in the Lyreen River in Maynooth earlier this week is due to take place this morning.

Tragic Oisin Quigley drowned after he entered a stretch of the water near the Kilcock Road to rescue one of his friends, but ultimately got into difficulty himself.

He was taken to Crumlin Hospital but passed away some time later. Two other teenagers received hospital treatment following the incident.

Oisin will be laid to rest in Lararyan Cemetery this morning, following his funeral mass in St Mary's Church Maynooth at 11am.
