Tragic Pte Sean is remembered

The 23-year-old was shot in the head as he drove an armoured jeep away from the crowd of attackers in December.

One of the three other soldiers in the jeep, Cavalry Trooper Shane Kearney from Cork, also suffered several fractures to his skull when the United Nations vehicle was overturned following the shooting.
