A priest at the service told past pupils: 'You have to rest. You have to eat. You have to mind yourselves, you have to allow yourselves to be minded by others.'

PUPILS, PARENTS AND the wider community around St. Michael’s College in Ballsbridge held the first of two prayer services today to pay respect to Andrew O’Donnell and Max Wall, two former students who died in Greece over the weekend.

Max Wall, is understood to have been transported to a hospital by ambulance, where he was pronounced dead later on Sunday. “I heard parents recount the silent dignity of thousands of young people and even port workers who were moved to join in and bow their heads as that boat left,” Kelleher said. “I spoke to a man named Gary who has a restaurant on Ios. And he said Max came into his restaurant looking to print some photographs of Andrew,” he said.

“I think it’s a testament to the two boys that died that the two families have more concern for other people and their pain and suffering than they do have their own.”
