TRIBUTES have been paid to an “exceptionally popular” PhD student at Limerick’s Mary Immaculate College, who has passed away.
David Loughnane, from Sixmilebridge in County Clare, was currently undertaking a PhD in History at MIC.

“His loss will be deeply felt by all who knew him and we would like to extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam,” added the MIC spokesperson.
Mr Loughnane is survived by loving parents Rita and Mike, brother Eoin, sister Lisa, brother-in-law Mark, nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles, relatives, neighbours and a large circle of friends.
