Darkness Into Light: Arklow and Carnew photos show bright community spirit
Organised by dedicated Darkness Into Light committees, the 4.15 a.m. walks drew huge crowds, showcasing their community spirit and generosity in support of Pieta and Electric Ireland's national fundraiser.
Praising their community, the Carnew Darkness Into Light Committee wrote: 'A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us this year, whether you walked side by side with us in Carnew or supported from afar, your presence and spirit made all the difference.
'Together, we stepped into the light, showing hope, compassion, and solidarity for those impacted by suicide and self-harm. The sunrise was beautiful, but even more powerful was the sense of community and support that surrounded us.
'Thank you to the volunteers and everyone who donated their time, energy, and generosity. You are truly appreciated. A special thank you must go to Carnew Fire Service, as without them, DIL2025 wouldn't happen in Carnew.
'The morning was a powerful reminder that when we come together, we can make a real difference.'
Echoing those sentiments, the Arklow Darkness Into Light Committee commented: 'Thank you to all who took part in Darkness Into Light 2025. The support you give will help to keep Pieta's vital services free and available to all those who need them.

Sunny balmy night 'became dimmed' when popular tradesman drowned, funeral hears
A sunny balmy night 'became dimmed' last Wednesday when a popular tradesman and fisherman drowned in the River Blackwater in Mallow, a requiem mass has heard. Simon O'Connell (41) from Meelaheeragh, Kanturk, Co Cork, got in to difficulty in the water whilst swimming at Dysert, Dromagh in Mallow, Co Cork at around 7pm last Wednesday. The alarm was raised and the emergency services were at the scene within minutes. The body of the deceased was recovered down stream by members of the Cork County Fire Service. Fr John Magner told mourners at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Kanturk today that there was 'shock, numbness and devastation' in the community following the sudden passing of Simon. 'For me to witness Nancy (his mother) holding her son Simon recalls Jesus in the arms of his mother after the Crucifixion in Michelangelo's Pieta. It (the sculpture) became a living reality for Nancy, for Jim (the father of Simon) and for the O'Connell family.' Fr Magner said that Simon was 'gifted' with his hands. 'His work as a plasterer was much sought after for his workmanship. He loved the outdoors with the dogs and the ferrets and the horses and the fishing — all those outdoor pursuits.' Symbols of the life of the deceased brought to the altar at the mass included a plastering trowel, a fishing net and a dog muzzle. The emergency services who assisted at the scene were remembered in the prayers. Following the 11.30am requiem mass a service took place at the Island Crematorioum in Ringaskiddy, Co Cork. Meanwhile, a file on the case is being sent to the Coroner in North Cork. An inquest will be held in due course. Mr O'Connell is survived by his parents James and Nancy, his siblings James and Barry, his nephews Jamie and Danny, niece Isla, extended family and friends.
