Help us bring James home

Hi Everyone,

When James set out on what he considered was going to be one of his biggest achievements climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Never did we think it was going to be his last trip.

He was 100m away from the summit on his 40th birthday 05DEC2023 when he suffered a heart attack and passed away. We are trying our best to bring James home as fast as possible to his loving family and friends.

He is a wonderful husband, super father, amazing son, fantastic brother, loving uncle, friend and hero to many. He exuded positivity and anyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting him would know they would never again meet another like James. He was the chef and life of family run restaurant "Tony's Bistro" in North main street, Cork city.

We never thought we would find ourselves writing something like this and seeking the much needed help from our friends and community ;but we need to bring James home to his loving family in Limerick and Cork.

"Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view. Climb it so you can see the world, not so the world can see you"

RIP James xxx
