Three towns, three funerals; a week that will never be forgotten in County Tyrone | JOE.ie

Once a favourite night-out spot for those in Mid-Ulster, in just five days it seems as though people are struggling to look at it. It remains closed. It's like watching the building become haunted in real time.

Not far away, a notice on the local McDonald's warns customers that the restaurant will be not be open for business throughout the day of the funerals. The Oaks Shopping Centre is quiet. The main street is empty, as are its side streets. By Thursday evening, before the funerals have begun, the book of condolences in Dungannon is halfway to being full.Reading through the condolences one by one, you can map out the thought process of each person who stood over it, wondering what to write. Almost every message is led by the one before it, each author borrowing phrases seen elsewhere on the page. Sincere sympathies. Gone before their time. Their families are in our thoughts. Best to stick to what is indisputably true.
