Anthony Foley: Public urged to travel early as huge crowds expected

Members of the public who are planning to travel to Anthony Foley’s funeral should allow plenty of time for the journey as huge crowds are expected to flock to the church to pay their final respects to the rugby legend.

Fr Pat Malone, PP, Clarecastle will be the chief celebrant for the midday Requiem Mass in St Flannan’s parish church in Killaloe. The Mass will be followed by burial after in the Relig Nua graveyard.

Only family and friends will be allowed to enter the church for the Mass.
