The Carrigdhoun Newspaper would like to extend their sympathies to the family - particularly Collette, Bryan, Adam Luke and Lauren - and friends of Bryan O'Connor who passed away over the weekend.

Bryan had a love for rugby, and was always cheering on his sons and Crosshaven RFC from the sidelines. He also had a grá for the sea and was a regular to Fountainstown beach.

Bryan's presence will be sorely missed in the Crosshaven community.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
