The removal of the late Fine Gael TD Shane McEntee has taken place in Nobber, Co. Meath this evening.

The 56 year old father of three was found dead on Friday morning.

A funeral mass will be held tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock in St. John the Baptist Church followed by burial in Nobber Cemetery.

It's emerged that Minister McEntee had been upset in the weeks leading up to his death because of abuse he received on social media websites.
