Deepest condolences to Pte Seàn Rooneys family, fiancé & comrades. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all at this devastating time. We pray for the speedy recovery of Seàn’s colleagues who remain in our thoughts. A young man with his whole career ahead of him. I am struck by the value Seàn added to the Defence Forces in such a short period. He was an example to us all, & that is a credit to his family & friends. The Values you instilled in Seàn were clear to see in how he performed his duties & lived his life. You will forever be in our thoughts, & our Military family 🕊️. May Seàn Rest in Peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a Anam dílis. ☘️🇮🇪☘️
