Taoiseach Micheál Martin has warned people not to follow in the footsteps of brave Rory Mason who died fighting in Ukraine last week.
The young Meathman was killed in the line of duty for Ukraine at the frontline in the war against the invading forces of Russia.
The three leaders of Government, Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar, and Greens chief Eamon Ryan all paid tribute to Mr Mason and extended their condolences to his family and friends.
