A priest told a crowd gathered at the funeral of a man whose body was brought into a post office that “no one should point a finger at anybody”.

The events surrounding the death of Peadar Doyle, 66, have made headlines in Ireland and internationally.

His nephew Declan Haughney and another man brought him into Hosey’s Post Office in Carlow to collect his pension – “not realising” he was dead last Friday morning.
