Shane Hickey was laid to rest today.
The teenager, who died in a crash in Offaly, has been described as someone who was "always happy and very-well liked."
Shane Hickey was killed when the tractor he was driving entered a deep drain in Black Castle Bog in Clonmore near Rhode last Thursday.
His workwear, a pliers and toolbox, and his jerseys were brought to the altar to symbolise his work ethic and his love for sports.
Michelle Brennan says Shane was always caring for his family and friends:
