Dublin GAA Fans Are Planning To Honour The Buncrana Victims In A Really Special Way

This is sure to be a really poignant moment.

The town of Buncrana and beyond were rocked on Sunday when five members of the same family lost their lives in a horrific tragedy.

Sean McGrotty (49) his sons Mark (12) and Evan (8) his mother-in-law Ruth Daniels (59) and her daughter, Jodie Lee (14) tragically died when their vehicle slipped into Lough Swilly from a pier in Buncrana.

Now Dublin fans are planning to honour the family in a special way tomorrow night when they play Donegal in the Allianz Football League.

Administrators posted the following message to the supporters page:

‘Good evening Dubs. As everyone is now well aware, the Donegal seaside town of Buncrana was the scene of a tragic accident resulting in the deaths of 5 people, including three children on Sunday evening. The lads on the all Dublin GAA fans page have suggested that in the fifth minute of Saturday evenings game against Donegal the whole stadium should stand up as one with a minutes applause in honour of those who perished. We here on the Dubs supporters page would like to appeal to everyone of you present on Saturday to join in and support this very fine gesture. Tragedies like this make you realise how precious life really is.’
