Special Mass to pray for Clonmany man injured in Sydney accident

Mr Sweeney was placed in an induced coma in Royal Prince Alfred Hospital following the accident in Sydney. Local news reports said Mr Sweeney, who is 28-years-old, was struck by an ambulance shortly after midnight over a week ago on Saturday. His family has travelled to Australia to be by his side.

Numerous prayers have been said for the popular and well-known young man’s recovery and a special Mass will take place in the Oratory, Ballyliffin, tonight, Monday at 7pm for Eoin and his family.

A Go Fund Me page, set up by Eoin’s friend, Shauna McDaid, to fund medical expenses and aftercare, has now reached $165,907 (over €100,000) and is still growing.
