Mayor of Waterford City & County, Cllr. Jason Murphy (FF), has expressed deep sorrow to the families and friends of Gilbert Collins (15) and Avuzwa Idris (17), who lost their lives in a tragic accident earlier this week.
He has opened a Book of Condolence for the Waterford community to express their sympathies and support to the grieving families.
Mayor Murphy said: "Our hearts go out to the families and friends affected by this devastating loss. We can only imagine what both families are going through - for two young boys to die at such a young age."
Members of the public may sign the Book of Condolence at City Hall, The Mall, during the hours of 9.30am-1pm and 2pm-4pm, Monday to Friday, or sign the online book here.
