Funeral details for Ashling Murphy as Tullamore family make one request to public

Ashling Murphy's funeral mass will take place on Tuesday in her home town of Tullamore.

The 23-year-old, who was brutally murdered earlier this week, will be laid to rest surrounded by her closest family and friends.

She will repose in her family home today, Sunday, from 3pm until 8pm and the same times again on Monday.

A rosary will take place both nights at 8pm.

Removal will then take place on Tuesday morning, arriving at St Brigid's Church, Mountbolus for mass at 11am with burial afterwards.

The family have requested family flowers only and that the house be strictly private on Tuesday.

Government guidelines on social distancing are also to be adhered to by those attending the house or the church.
