Michael Snee has been remembered as a "beautiful, kind and gentle" person, as his funeral mass took place in Sligo this morning.
The 58-year-old's body was found in his apartment at City View, off Connaughton Road last Tuesday night.
Representatives from the Taoiseach and the Tanaiste were in attendance as Father Noel Rooney proclaimed: "It is important today that we do not allow the horror of Michael’s death to define his beautiful life. And what a beautiful life he lived. Many beautiful memories were shared with tears and with laughter over the last few days.
