Young family is laid to rest after another road tragedy

Two other teenagers and their four-month-old daughter died in another appalling accident last week. Conor Martin, 18, from Marshallstown, Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, his partner Emma Conroy, 17, from Pearse Road, Enniscorthy, and their four-month-old baby, Chloe, died when their car collided with a lorry three miles north of Enniscorthy.

The car was pushed up to 200 yards back along the road, ending up in a ditch. The bodies of the three had to be cut from the car after the accident, which occurred at 12.30pm on Wednesday. Local gardai described the accident as the "worst they had seen in over 20 years". Conor Martin worked as a barman in Enniscorthy, while Emma had just completed her Leaving Certificate at Colaiste Brid.

More than 3,000 mourners attended requiem mass at St Aidan's Cathedral, Scarawalsh, yesterday. Following the service the young family was buried together in St Mary's Cemetery.
