Hundreds of people attended a special mass in memory of the teenager at the Clonmel Óg clubhouse last night.

It had originally been organised to pray for Jack’s recovery but it was decided to go ahead with the Mass last night even though he lost his battle for life yesterday.

Fr Michael Toomey says many of Jack’s friends had gathered at Cork University Hospital where he passed away.


Fr Toomey says it’s important for parents to be there for their children at this time.

He also praised the efforts of the Clonmel Óg club in providing support for those who knew Jack.
