My thoughts and prayers are with all the Rooney family at this difficult time. I hope Sean's mother gets peace in how much Sean was loved bye members of the defence forces past and present and how proud we are of sean, he was a Hero, we all lost a comrade and a brother and there are no words to explain this, any soldier reading this will understand. My thoughts are also with John Rooney who I trained with. R.I.P Sean I hope you get the best bed in heaven.
