Private Seán Rooney was killed last week.
The funeral of Private Seán Rooney - the young Irish soldier killed in Lebanon a week ago - takes place today.
His funeral mass will get underway at 9 o'clock this morning in the Holy Family Church in Dundalk.
It'll be followed by a burial service at All Saints Catholic Church in Colehill, County Donegal later today.
