'The gentle flames of the Chinese lanterns may have drifted up, away and out of sight, but the youth of Johnstown are determined to ensure Mikey Leddy's memory will always burn bright.'
About 100 people attended a poignant release of balloons in Blackwater Park this evening to remember 21-year-old Amy English and Conor McColgan (23), who died tragically in a car crash on Wednesday.
Amyโs funeral will will take place privately, on Monday.

Morning, we spent some time in Johnstown this morning as people made their way to work via the NX bus service from Navan to Dublin. Passengers here squeezed on (6.20 from Abbey Road) but other commuters further up Metges Road and onto Garlow Cross were less fortunate.
This week's paper will be in your shops shortly and is something of a tribute to the hundreds of people who have gathered up more than 5,000 bags of rubbish from their communities in recent weeks, something which will leave one lasting (and positive) legacy of this pandemic...
From his home in Navan, mapping expert Vladislav Zhdanko is using his IT skills to play his part in keeping his fellow Ukrainians safe and informed in the face of the Russian invasion of his country.
