THE FUNERAL of a couple and their young grandson who died in a collision in Co. Tipperary will take place today.
Thomas Reilly, 45, Bridget Reilly, 46, and their three-year-old grandson Tom lost their lives when the car they were travelling in struck a wall near Cashel on Tuesday.
It comes at the end of a week that has seen the funerals of four young people who died in a separate collision in Clonmel on Friday, August 25.
Fr Enda Brady, who led a vigil for the Reilly family at St John the Baptist Church in Cashel on Thursday, will be the principal celebrant for Sunday's service at the same church.
