Two Irish construction workers, Barry O'Connell, 50, and Eoin Fitzgerald, 25, were killed in a road accident in Northamptonshire, UK on February 19. The collision involved a Volkswagen Caddy and HGV lorry, sparking a significant response in their local communities back in Ireland. O'Connell was remembered fondly at his funeral, attended by family and friends, while Fitzgerald's parish priest expressed the community's shock at losing a young man dedicated to his family's construction legacy. Both families face profound grief as they mourn their loved ones.
The whole parish is absolutely devastated at the tragic news. A very well thought of and respected family in the community. It has sent shockwaves throughout the community.
A young man taken in the prime of life. He was a dedicated, hardworking man following in his father's footsteps as a builder.
The whole thing is just so shocking. My thoughts and prayers are very much with the whole family.
