Priest at johnny byrne funeral calls for an end to nek nominations

The Chief Celebrant at the funeral of Jonny Byrne is calling for an end to the Neknomination craze. Fr Tom Lalor is appealing to young people to say no, if they are faced with the social media drinking game. Hundreds of people are attending the 19-year-old student's requiem mass in Leighlinbridge in Carlow. Jonathan 'Jonny' Byrne drowned last Saturday night after he jumped into the River Barrow as part of the Neknomination challenge.
