THE FUNERAL details have been confirmed for a teenager who was killed in a collision in Co. Wicklow over the weekend.
Molly Dempsey, from Baltinglass, died on Sunday, May 5 after the car she was a passenger in was involved in a single vehicle collision at Slaney Park at around 5am.
In a statement confirming her death “suddenly, following an accident", her parents said they were “broken-hearted”.
The 15-year-old’s death is the third tragedy to hit the family, as her two brothers Roy and Killian both died in separate incidents in previous years.
Tributes have since been paid to the tragic teen, with Pauline Barrett remembering her as “a beautiful, funny, bubbly girl”.
