A Service of Remembrance for Luke McSweeney, Grace McSweeney, Nicole Murphy and Zoey Coffey will take place on Saturday 24th August at 6.30pm in Kickham Plaza Clonmel.
There will be periods of reflection through music, song and words, along with a moment of thanks for the emergency services and all who assisted in the sad event last year. It is also an opportunity for the families to say thank you to the people of Clonmel and the Country as a whole for their support and friendships since the terrible tragedy.
If people wish to bring candles to the event, we would kindly ask to bring battery candles for safety, and of course everyone is welcome to attend and remember Luke, Grace, Nicole and Zoey at this time.
