A man whose wife and two young daughters were killed in a crash has said he lost his “whole family in one go”.

Una Bowden and her daughters Ciara, 14, and Saoirse, 10, died when the car they were in collided with a lorry in the Castlegar area, outside Claremorris, Co Mayo, on Tuesday March 26.

The crash shocked the town and also devastated the Moycullen area in Co Galway, where the family lived and were active in the community and sporting groups.

A Requiem Mass was in Mrs Bowden’s father’s home town of Raphoe, Co Donegal, on Wednesday.
