THE FUNERAL of Michael Dwyer (24) will take place this morning in Co Tipperary.
He will be buried following Requiem Mass at 11am in the village of Terryglass, close to his family home at Ballinderry on the northern shores of Lough Derg.
Family, friends and neighbours attended his removal last night from a funeral home in Nenagh.
It is expected that an inquest into his death will eventually be held.
The Department of Foreign Affairs has called for an international investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mr Dwyer’s death.
The Bolivian government has claimed that he was involved in a plot to assassinate the country’s president, Evo Morales.
However, Mr Dwyer’s parents have vehemently denied the allegation.
