The funeral arrangements for two teenagers killed in a car accident in east Mayo have been announced.
James Daniels and Harry Fagan were fatally injured following a road traffic collision at Levallyroe, Co Mayo on Friday evening shortly after 8pm involving a tractor and a car.
A third occupant in the car, the driver, is recovering in hospital from injuries sustained in the collision as is the driver of the tractor.
Both Harry and James were members of Cloonfad United FC. In a statement yesterday, the club said: "As we gathered yesterday evening at our club grounds looking forward to another Senior game and both our boys and girls u11 teams just having completed their Friday evening schedule what unfolded has left the Cloonfad community in complete shock, numbness and disbelief.
"James Daniels was a member of our u14 squad that recently won the RDYSL Division One championship and he scored a number of goals during their campaign. James loved being with his teammates and friends and had a lovely friendly personality to match.
"Harry Fagan played for Cloonfad all the way through our underage program . Playing mostly in the midfield he always gave his best.
"Of course people involved in the game locally would be well aware of the Fagan name. They have given so much to our club in various different platforms and are so generous with their time to all local volunteer groups.
"Our hearts are broken for both families and we send our prayers and support to the Daniels, Cunniffe, Fagan, Moran and Reinhardt families."
