Fr Kieran O’Brien is parish administrator in Killarney.
He says on behalf of the parish they are saddened to hear of the tragic death of Jamey Carney, who's the mother of a 13-year-old girl.
Fr Kieran O'Brien says Killarney parish offers sincerest sympathies and prayers to Ms Carney's family.
He says on one of the finest days of the year, a cloud hangs over the town.
Fr O'Brien says in the parish they always pray it will be a safe summer for everyone in the community and for this to happen in someone’s own home, it beggars belief.
The outgoing administrator for the parish of Killarney says Jamey Carney's death has brought huge sadness and a great sense of loss to her family in Ireland and in New York.
Fr O'Brien says Killarney is a caring community and that the parish will reach out in support and in prayers, and with any help they can give.
