Tributes have poured in for a young man who tragically died in a single vehicle collision in Cork.
Gardai in Cork said a fatal single vehicle road traffic collision occurred at 6:50 am this morning on Wednesday 20th August 2025 on the M8 (J18) road Southbound, Upper Riverstown, Glanmire, Co. Cork.
Billy O'Grady was from Pitch View, Shanballymore in Cork and passed away peacefully in Cork University Hospital on August 20th 2025 surrounded by his loving family following the road traffic accident.
He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by his heart broken parents, brothers and sister, his grandparents Frankie and Reenie Butler, uncles; Jerry, Daniel, James, Keith and Nathan, niece Ava, his partner Chloe, Jordan's partner Laura, gran uncles, gran aunts, extended family, relatives, kind neighbours and a large circle of friends.
The O' Grady family gave a special word of thanks to all those that helped and supported both Billy and his family including the First Responders and Ambulance crew, the Fire Brigade, An Garda Síochána in particular Guard Vincent Geurin and Guard Eric Stafford, the doctors, nurses and staff of A&E and ICU in Cork University Hospital.
