There is a deep sense of sadness in the Rossnowlagh Franciscan community following the sudden passing of Fr. Florian Farrelly.
Fr. Florian lost his life in a road traffic collision in Limerick on Wednesday afternoon.
It's understood Fr Florian was on his way to Killarney to visit the friary there when the incident occurred.
Fr Florian served at the Rossnowlagh Franciscan Friary and was hugely respected in the local community.
Fr Eugene Barrett from the Franciscan Friary in Rossnowlagh says the news of the tragic death of Fr Florian has come as a major shock:
