A trust fund has been set up to assist the family of Damien Murphy, who died suddenly back in February.

He was a trusted employee of Rockmount Pre-Training Centre in the north east, since its inception 13 years ago, and 8 years before that, when it was known as Vinery.

His death was a shock to all that knew him, in particular his four young sons, Josh, Cian, Leo and Patrick, they have been robbed of a father.

Several studs have put their shoulder to the wheel to assist the family with the boy’s upbringing and education.

The studs have put up sires for tender that closes at 5 pm Sunday October 5.
