His cousin resided over his Mass.
The Laois man who died in Greece last month is being remembered at his funeral as someone "who spread love with a smile".
Rory Deegan was found unresponsive in a pool on the island of Zakynthos on June 25th.
An airline ticket, a hurl and a picture of the 22 year's old dog spud were brought to the alter in St. Tighernach's Church in Cullohill this afternoon as his family and friends gathered to say goodbye.
His cousin Fr. Bobby Fletcher says he was a great son, a great brother and a great character and is now a great loss:
The family of Rory Deegan is thanking the community in Laois for the support they have received.
His Dad Joe says the family feel cheated he was taken so soon:
