Hundreds of people gathered this morning for the funeral of the fifth victim of the Meath bus crash.
Aimee McCabe (15) was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery of the Church of the Assumption in Beauparc at 11am. The service was attended by large crowds of mourners including members of the families of the other four victims of the crash.
Also in attendance was the Bishop of Meath, Dr Michael Smith and the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Noel Dempsey, who is also a local TD.
Members of An Garda Síochána, CIÉ and the emergency services also attended.
Aimee was the class captain in the third year at St Michael's Loreto Convent, Navan. Pupils from her school and members of the local GAA club formed a guard of honour for her coffin.
She was the middle girl of three from Hayestown and was described by her friends as the leader and the inspiration in her class.
A Westlife fan, she had written about going to see the band in concert just hours before the fatal crash. Staff at the Loreto Convent said she was "a great leader" with great organisational abilities.
The funerals of the four other girls took place yesterday and were attended by thousands of family and friends.
The townlands of Beauparc, Rosnaree and Yellow Furze came to a halt to bury Claire McCluskey (18), Deirdre Scanlon (17), Lisa Callan (15) and Sinéad Ledwidge (15).
Speaking at the homily at Sinéad's funeral Mass parish priest Fr Peter Farrelly said since the tragic events, people had been questioning and talking about the safety of children.
"There is controversy about seat belts, but getting away from the blame . . . if the death of Sinéad and the others has got people to question and to think about how we care for, look after, the welfare of our children, then their deaths are not in vain."
