The two teens passed away last weekend.

The bodies of two Dublin teenagers who died in Greece over the weekend will be repatriated today. 

Andrew O'Donnell and Max Wall died in separate incidents while on a sixth year holiday in Ios. 

Mr. O'Donnell's mum hails from Mountmellick in Laois.

Post-mortem examinations on the bodies of the two Irish teenagers concluded yesterday in Athens. 

The classmates who had just completed their exams at St Michael’s College in south Dublin, were two of around 90 students from the same school who had gone to the Greek island to celebrate completing their exams last week.

Andrew went missing on Friday and his body was found on Sunday at around lunchtime after a massive search operation on the island. 

Max fell ill on Sunday near the port on the island and was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The college in south Dublin has been holding twice-daily prayer services for the families while they are in Greece.
