Murdered Tony Dempsey's loss of his sister and mum in the last 18 months of his life came as a "devastating blow" and which deeply affected him, his funeral mass heard.
Mourners gathered at St Bernadette's Church in Crumlin, south Dublin to pay a final farewell to the 28-year-old, two weeks on from the discovery of his body.
The young man's remains were found in a ground floor property of Kevin Barry House, Coleraine Street in Dublin's north inner city on September 12.
