A young man who lost his life in a crash in Listowel on Sunday has been described as a warm, vibrant, young man.
Michael Hennessy of Billeragh, Listowel, died on Sunday after the car he was driving collided with a roadside tree in Ballinruddery.
Two passengers in the car were also taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Fr Declan O’Connor said that Michael Hennessy was a multitalented engineering apprentice with a bright future.
Speaking at the funeral mass, the parish priest said he was still trying to make sense of Michael’s death, who was a former altar server and reader at St Mary’s Church.
The congregation heard how Michael, who attended Dromclough National School and Coláiste na Ríochta, wanted to be a welder from a young age.
Fr O’Connor said news of the tragedy spread throughout the parish during the All-Ireland football final.
