Devastating news this afternoon: It’s happened AGAIN, a 25-yr-old homeless man has died sleeping rough in County Offaly




It doesn’t get much worse than this. ANOTHER homeless person has died on our streets today.

The horrific news has emerged after 25-yr-old Cork native Conor O’Hagan was hospitalized in Tullamore from symptoms sustained from sleeping rough and has tragically died last night as a result.

Conor was originally from Clonakilty, Co. Cork but recently was staying in Tullamore, County Offaly.

Local lady Eva Donlon told The Liberal:
“A memorial service will be held at O’Connor Square, Tullamore tomorrow evening at 7pm where local musicians will play tribute to him.”

Eva told of how devastating the death of the young man is to the community and to Ireland as whole. She said it’s particularly pertinent given that the figure of homelessness across the country has surpassed 7,100.

Eva continued:
“This is not only to pay our respects to Conor and his family and friends but also to highlight the crisis of homeless on a day where the figure has gone past 7,100”.

May he Rest In Peace.
