Gardaí are looking at whether the man, who was 49 and originally from Latvia, died hours or even days before emergency services were called.

The organisers say they will march to the Dáil this afternoon in protest at the Government’s failure to recognise that they are an industry in crisis.

Some incidents involved someone wearing a balaclava while entering the church carrying a coffin, and floral arrangements of alcohol, screwdrivers and cars.

The allegations include slapping children's heads, repeatedly calling a child "fatty", and wiping kids' noses so hard they fell backwards and hurt their heads.

The 20 year old had been volunteering with the Ukrainian military.

His remains will be arriving at St.Macartans Cathedral Grounds and pausing for a few moments as a mark of respect.

The M1 joins the N1, which is the main route between Belfast and Dublin.

Gardaí continue to appeal to anyone who may have information.
