Tributes paid to irishman who died in greek wildfires

The Irish man who died in the Greece fires has been described as smart, articulate and thoughtful.

Brian O'Callaghan-Westropp was on honeymoon in the resort of Mati when he went missing while trying to escape the blazes. Brian - who was originally from Clare but lived in Dublin - was one of at least 80 people who died. The couple only got married last Thursday and headed out for their honeymoon in Greece on Saturday. Brian had been a student at the National College of Ireland since 2014 where the college said he was widely respected by his classmates and lecturers. In a statement the Dean School of Business Dr Colette Darcy described Brian as smart, articulate, thoughtful while never shy of offering an opinion. She says the fact that he volunteered, had a job and also went to college two evenings a week - gives you a sense of the man. She added the world is a sadder place without Brian in it.
