Lorna Carty: Funeral of Irish Tunisia attack victim held | |
(about 3 hours later) | |
Mourners at the funeral of one of the Irish victims of the Tunisia gun attack have heard tributes to her "goodness and kindness". | |
Lorna Carty, who was in her 50s and from County Meath, was on holiday with her husband Declan when the attack happened on 26 June. | |
The mother-of-two was among 38 people murdered at the beach resort of Sousse. | |
Fr Noel Horneck said the community was in shock. | |
Guard of honour | |
"Friends, neighbours, colleagues, and the local GAA club here in Dunderry to which she was so committed, so often giving her nursing aid to players when injured - she was a club nurse - that's probably the best way of describing Lorna's involvement," he told the congregation at the Church of the Assumption in Robinstown. | |
"Her goodness and kindness will always be remembered and appreciated and spoken of." | |
Members of the Meath Senior GAA team and her local club formed a guard of honour as her remains were brought into the church. | |
Fr Horneck told her family: "Our mourning as friends, neighbours, colleagues, club and parish is nothing compared to your loss." | |
Laurence (Larry) and Martina Hayes from County Westmeath were also killed in the attack. | Laurence (Larry) and Martina Hayes from County Westmeath were also killed in the attack. |
Their funerals were held in Athlone on Friday, the same day as their only daughter Sinead's 30th birthday. | |
Thirty Britons were murdered in the attack, and a minute's silence was held across the UK on Friday to remember the victims. | |
The final five bodies of British victims killed in the Tunisia beach attack were being flown back to the UK on Saturday. | |
Other victims included two Germans, one Belgian, one Portuguese and one Russian national. |
