The local community around Portroe and Boher in north Tipperary has been left devastated by the sudden and tragic death of Daniel Cieslar, who was killed in a car accident in Birdhill over the weekend.

Mr Cieslar, a devoted husband and father, is survived by his wife Magda and their two young children, David and Sarah. Friends and neighbours have described him as a kind, hardworking family man whose loss has left an immeasurable void.

In the wake of the tragedy, friends of the family have launched an online fundraiser to help support Magda and the children as they come to terms with their loss. The campaign aims to ease the immediate financial pressures facing the family, including funeral expenses and daily living costs in the difficult months ahead.

“This is an unimaginable time for Magda, David, and Sarah,” organisers of the fundraiser said. “Daniel was the heart of his family. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a real difference and allow Magda the space to grieve without the added burden of financial worry.”
