Statement of the Archbishop of Dublin, Patron of Temple Carrig School, Greystones, Following the Death of Student Laura Dempsey

It was with deep sadness that I heard of the death of Laura Dempsey at the weekend. To her family, we extend our sincere sympathies and pray that they know God’s strength in their heartache and devastating loss.

Laura was a third year student in Temple Carrig School, Greystones, of which I am patron, and had just completed her Junior Certificate exams.

We hold Laura’s friends and the whole school community in our thoughts and hearts as they struggle to come to terms with their loss. We also pray for the principal, teachers, chaplain and staff of the school as they support the students in their grief.

Archbishop of Dublin, the Most Revd Dr Michael Jackson
