We also thank the Management and staff of Kelly’s Inn for their kind assistance to all involved at the accident scene.

We wish to thank and acknowledge all the Emergency Services who attended at the scene of the accident – The Ambulance service, The Fire Service and The PSNI. We appreciate their difficult task and we are forever grateful for their expertise, dignity , reverence and respect shown to Nathan and his two friends Peter Finnegan RIP and Petey McNamee RIP. The PSNI personnel at the accident scene were especially kind and respectful and carried out their duties in a highly dignified manner and as a family we thank them for this and for their assistance with traffic management when we were bringing Nathan home and at his funeral.

Special thanks to Monsignor Curry for the dignified administration of the Last Rites to Nathan and we are very grateful for his support on the morning of the accident and indeed in the weeks that followed.
