Mum of Irish boy killed in Turkey holiday crash with dad pays tearful tribute - ‘I’m just glad they’re together'
The devastated mother of an Irish boy killed with his father in a horror accident on holiday has fought back tears – to pay tribute to him.
Dylan and Mr Fitzpatrick died when the moped they were driving was struck by a bus at around 3.30pm on Monday – hours before the family was due to end their holiday and fly back home to Portlaoise in Co Laois on Tuesday morning.Cian, who is a talented GAA player, was with Mr Fitzpatrick’s partner and her kids and did not witness the horror accident – which saw the driver of the bus later arrested.
“He is 10 years of age and he still holds my hand and tells me he loves me, no matter where we are. He is so, so kind.” She said: “They go with me and then they go with their father separately every year. We aren’t together, but we are very, very united. “He loved being at home. He doesn’t have many friends. He loves being at home, he loves being at home with me. He loves the simple things in life.She also spoke of her last conversation with the boys - in which they spoke of looking forward to coming home.
Other family members who spoke to The Mirror in Portlaoise said they feared it could be anything from a week to 10 days before the remains of Dylan and Eoin are returned to Ireland.
