The bodies of four members of the family who were found dead in their home in Co Wexford last weekend have been brought to the local church for burial tomorrow.
Diarmuid Flood (41), his wife Lorraine (38) and their children Mark (6) and Julie (5) were found dead inside their burning home in the early hours of Saturday.
The funeral cortege arrived this evening at St Clement’s church in Cloughbawn, Clonroche for a removal service prior to a funeral mass tomorrow.
Fr Richard Hayes said the Requiem Mass would be held at 2pm tomorrow, followed by burial in the adjoining cemetery
Gardaí are investigating a number of theories in an effort to find out the exact circumstances surrounding the deaths.
A postmortem confirmed Diarmuid and Lorraine died of single gunshot wounds. The cause of the children's deaths remains unknown. However, they did not die because of the fire or suffer physical trauma.
Gardaí have refused to comment on speculation that the children may have been sedated prior to the fire. The cause of their deaths is not likely to emerge until toxicology tests are completed.
A book of condolences has been opened at the town hall in New Ross, 16 km (10 miles) from the village.
