THE funeral has taken place of a Limerick man whose body was identified earlier this year - nearly 25 years after he went missing.
There were emotional scenes at Christ the King Church in Caherdavin this Saturday morning as the family of Denis Walsh gathered to pay they final respects.
While the body of the then 23-year-old was located off the Galway coast a number of weeks after he went missing in March 1996, his remains were only formally identified this year due to advances in DNA technology.
Speaking during the funeral Mass, which was live-streamed online, Denis brother Michael thanked those who have offered their prayers and support to his family over the last quarter of a century.
