The student tragically died from stab wounds received at a house party in Cork city.
The student who tragically died from stab wounds at a house party in Cork city last night has been named as Cameron Blair, aged 20, from outside Clonakilty.
Cameron was a student of Cork Institute of Technology and was a former student of Bandon Grammar School.
This morning, Bandon Athletics Club released a statement, saying he had been a member of the club for a number of years. He competed at local and national level, winning medals at West Cork, County, Munster and National levels.
The statement continued: “ In 2017 he helped the men's team to a 2nd place finish at the National league promoting them to Premier. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.”
The club expressed its deepest sympathies to his family.
Cllr Shane O'Callaghan said people in the area are stunned at the news.
"The reaction locally is one of absolute horror and disbelief," he said.
"The Bandon Road area where the incident occurred is a quiet residential area where there is quite a lot of elderly residents and some student accommodation.
"It is such a terrible tragedy that a young 20-year-old man would be killed in such circumstances and I can only imagine what his poor family must be going through at the moment."
