Masses being held for Dublin students as remains to be flown home from Greece

Tributes have been paid to the two teenagers, Andrew O’Donnell and Max Wall, as 'bright, sporting, academic' young men.

The remains of two Leaving Cert students who lost their lives during a post-exam holiday on an island in Greece are expected to be flown home in the “next two to three days” their school chaplain has said.

Andrew O’Donnell and Max Wall, both 18 and recent sixth-year graduates at St Michael’s College in south Dublin, passed away over the weekend on the Greek island of Ios.
