Bishop Good Expresses Sympathy to the Family of Michaela McAreavey

'I share the sense of shock felt by everyone across our community upon hearing the news of Michaela McAreavey's death. My prayers and deepest sympathy go to John McAreavey and to the Harte family. This is a cruel and tragic blow for the family and a moment of great sadness for the GAA community.

It is very apparent that Michaela brought great joy and brightness to her new husband, her family and to all she came in contact with. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been so grievously wounded by her untimely death.'
