The Dundalk IT student had been drinking and socialising with around 15-20 others in a field in Shamrock Hill that night.

They’d left to get takeaway food before a small group returned to the field, Cameron's body was found there the next morning.

In a victim impact statement delivered by his uncle Darren Flanagan, Cameron was remembered as a 'happy go lucky' boy who loved music and attending concerts. He was also known as a popular teen among his friends and family.
