ST EUNAN’S College in Letterkenny will host a prayer service on Monday in memory of former student, Tadhg Callaghan-Carter who died in Saturday’s fatal collision at the Donegal International Rally.
Tadhg (15) had only just recently sat his Junior Certificate exams at the school and in a statement issued by the school today, he was described as a deeply valued and popular member of the school community.
St Eunan’s College will open on Monday to support students, parents, staff and the school community.
The St Eunan’s College statement reads:
“It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that our school community learns of the sudden and tragic passing of our student, Tadhg Callaghan-Carter.
