The Leaving Certificate student who died when her car entered a river in Co Tipperary has been named locally as Brónagh English. Tragic Clonmel native Brónagh (18) died when her car collided with a wall and went into the river at the Kiladry Bridge in Kilmoyler, near Cahir at around 10pm on Thursday night. Her body was removed from the water by the Garda Water Unit on Friday morning. In a tribute online, Moyle Rovers Ladies Football club said that it was “shocked and deeply saddened by the news of the death of Brónagh English in a car accident last night". They said: “Brónagh played with our club for a short while at a young age. Her sister Mia is a current player, her brothers play with the Moyle Rovers club and her family have been great supporters over many years. As we mourn the very sad passing of a talented young life and former player our sympathies go out to Brónagh’s family and we will do all we can to help and support them in whatever way we can. "As a mark of our respect all Ladies Football activities in Monroe are suspended for the weekend. The Tipp LGFA Feile will not be played in Monroe as was scheduled for Sunday and our U15 girls have respectfully withdrawn from the competition. Tomorrow’s U14 League Semi Final has also been postponed. Sunday’s Senior League Semi Final has been postponed. May Brónagh rest in peace and our thoughts and prayers to her heartbroken family." Local Clonmel councillor John Fitzgerald, who knows the family, told the Irish Mirror that she was a “lovely person” taken too soon. “We are heartbroken. I personally knew her and she was a lovely person in every way possible. She was so nice and we are just devastated for her mother, father, brothers and sisters. She was doing her Leaving Cert and was such a special and nice person. There is a cloud hanging over the town over this loss,” he said. Local Cahir Cllr John O’Heney added: “Late last night after 10 O’clock there was a single car collision and an 18 year old girl diverted off the road. Unfortunately she passed away and the Garda Water Unit recovered her body this morning. I’d like to extend my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of this young girl. It is such a tragic event to have a girl so young taken so soon." The young woman’s body was taken to a mortuary where an examination was due to take place. The road, the L3101, remained closed on Friday as Garda Forensic Collision Investigators carried out a technical examination of the scene.
