The funeral arrangements for Munster and Ireland rugby legend Anthony Foley have been confirmed this evening.
The Munster head coach died in Paris where his team prepared for their opening Champions Cup game against French side Racing 92.
"Anthony’s remains will be flown home to Shannon Airport tomorrow, Wednesday, from where they will be brought to his family home (private) in Killaloe, Co Clare," a statement from the family read.
His remains will lie in repose at St Flannan’s Church, Killaloe from 1pm to 8:30pm on Thursday evening.
People intending on paying their respects to Anthony have been asked to attend early.
The funeral mass will take place at midday on Friday at St Flannan’s Church, with Church reserved for family and friends only.
Foley died of an "acute pulmonary oedema", an autopsy has revealed.
According to the autopsy, the 42-year-old Foley "had a heart rhythm disorder that caused an acute pulmonary oedema", the Nanterre public prosecutor west of Paris told AFP.
Pulmonary oedema is a build-up of fluid in the lungs that can lead to respiratory failure.
