This is a terrible tragedy for Kofi’s family and friends, the Coláiste Chú Chulainn community and the local community of Dundalk and the surrounding areas, who are deeply saddened by this event.
Kofi Owusu completed his Junior Certificate in Coláiste Chú Chulainn in June 2025. Kofi was a very caring young man with a wide circle of friends. He was a diligent student and a regular awardee for excellent attendance. Kofi was also an accomplished sportsman.

Kofi was also a member of the school’s under 16 basketball team and represented the school in the All-Ireland final on the 23rd of January 2025. Our sympathy and thoughts are with Kofi’s family and friends at this time.
