Tributes have been paid to Ireland's three Hurricane Ophelia victims as the family of Michael Pyke attended his funeral today.

People have been paying tribute to the three people who died during storm Ophelia yesterday.

It was a one-day event, with lifelong consequences for the families of its three victims, and ongoing ramifications for households, schools, transport, businesses, the health service, forestry, and farming.

The scale of Ophelia’s devastation was particularly felt in Waterford, Tipperary, and Dundalk, where three people lost their lives as a result of the storm.
