The Clones Youth Centre provided support services to young people and other members of the community last night in the aftermath of the accident that claimed the lives of two Largy College students.
The car they were travelling in was involved in a road traffic collision at Legnakelly on the N54 Clones to Smithboro road shortly before 7pm yesterday evening. Two others were critically injured while a third has been hospitalised with non life-threatening injuries.
Speaking on this morning's Joe Finnegan Show, Caolan Faux, Director of Youth Work Ireland Cavan and Monaghan - who lead the support effort - said teams were also deployed onto the streets of Clones to debrief the community there.
He says that the necessary supports that are needed in Clones and throughout the wider community over the coming weeks and months will be provided. Mr Faux highlighted how the services will be available to everyone who needs them.
"People can contact us via social media. Not just young people - parents and community members - we had a huge response from the community last night to see where they could help. So, on Facebook for Clones it's 'ywicm include Clones' or on instagram 'include_ys'," added Caolan.
