Darragh McCarthy, a 21-year-old student from Munster Technological University, died following a fall at the Eden Hall complex in Cork. His father, Niall, spoke at Darragh's funeral, describing him as easygoing, kind, and protective, reflecting on his character and positive impact on family and friends. Darragh was the eldest of three siblings and had a close bond with his girlfriend Sophie. The family is mourning the devastating loss, spotlighting Darragh's joyful spirit and the heartfelt memories shared during his short life.
"Our Darragh was born on the 07/07/2003. He first weighed in as a beautiful baby boy at 7lbs 6oz... The second time Darragh was weighed in hospital was last week. He came in at 6ft 2 inches and a 101kg. A fine cut of a young fella."
"Darragh was easy going, placid, good natured and kind. We didn't have too many tantrums or teenage dramas... His signature shoulder squeezes were just what everyone needed after a stressful day."
"The eldest of our three children Darragh was a typical big brother. Loving without demonstrating it in obvious ways he showed his love by wanting the best (for his siblings)... he was a tough coach and had high standards with Aisling - endless training sessions out in the garden."
"We are very grateful that Darragh met Sophie and they shared very happy memories together... He had the ability to light up a room with his big personality and his dress sense."
