Gardaí in Athlone say they hope everyone who wants to pay their last respects to Sr Bernard Lynch will be able to do so in a safe manner this morning.

Covid-19 restrictions mean that only a small number of people are allowed at the funeral but a procession route has been arranged from Flynn's Funeral Home to St Peter and Paul's Church where people can stand out.

A notice on the parish website says they are encouraging people who want to pay their respects to pick a spot along the route and applaud if they want to.

The Arigna born nun who was in her 90's died on Tuesday afternoon after she became ill while driving a car near the Golden Island Shopping Centre.

Sgt Andrew Haran says they are very aware that a lot of people will want to pay their respects and having a funeral procession should allow people to safely distance.
