There were 60 yellow roses placed by the coffins carrying the remains of two Leaving Cert students who died in Greece over the weekend as they boarded a ferry, their school principal has said.

Andrew O’Donnell and Max Wall, both 18, died while on their post-exam holiday with friends on the island of Ios.
