Man who died in Glenflesk fire named locally

A man who died in a house fire in Glenflesk has been named locally.

Johnny O Brien, also known as The Rock, died in his home in the early hours of yesterday morning.

His body was removed to University Hospital Kerry yesterday for a post mortem examination; he was the sole occupant of the house at the time.

Kerry TD Danny Healy-Rae, who was a friend of Mr O’Brien, says he had a smile like no one else’s.
