Another dark day in west Donegal as Shaun McClafferty is laid to rest

It's another dark day for a parish in west Donegal as the second victim from a weekend crash has been laid to rest.

Teenager Shaun McClafferty, along with his friend Jamie Diver were both killed when a car they were travelling in collided with the gable wall of a house just outside Gortahork, shortly before 9.30pm on Friday night.

The late Mr McClafferty's funeral mass took in Christ the King Church Gortahork earlier.

Jamie Divers funeral took place in the same church yesterday.
