A brother of deceased Minister of State Shane McEntee has criticised internet 'trolls' who post criticism on websites without thinking of the consequences.

Thousands are expected to attend the funeral today of the late Minister of State, Shane McEntee.

Considering the tragic nature of his death, the words of Fr Seamus Houlihan at last night’s removal of the late Shane McEntee were all the more poignant to those in attendance.

Tributes are pouring in for the late Minister of State Shane McEntee, who died suddenly yesterday.

The funeral of the Minister of State Shane McEntee will take place this Monday, on Christmas Eve.
