Garda flood victim to be buried today

The funeral mass of Garda Ciarán Jones will take place later today.

The 25-year-old died while trying to help people who were stuck in severe flooding in County Wicklow on Monday night.

He was off-duty at the time and was swept away by floodwaters at Ballysmuttan bridge.

Meanwhile, a mass was held at Our Lady's Hospice in Harold's Cross in Dublin last night for Celia Ferrer de Jesus.

The 58-year-old, who had worked at the hospice for 10 years, was found dead on Tuesday morning after her home in Dublin was flooded.
