The body of the young jockey who was killed in a fire in northern England earlier this month was due to be flown back to Ireland tonight.
Jamie Kyne, an 18-year-old from Claregalway, was one of two people who died in the blaze at a flat in north Yorkshire.
19-year-old Jan Wilson from Forfar in Scotland also died.
North Yorkshire police are treating the cause of the fire as suspicious.
Hundreds of people attended a service that was held in Yorkshire earlier today.
Removal of Mr Kyne's body takes place from Dublin airport to the family home in Galway.
The remains will repose at Lackagh Mortuary chapel tomorrow afternoon, prior to removal to the local church in the evening.
The funeral mass and burial will take place on Saturday.
A 37-year-old man who was arrested by North Yorkshire Police in connection with the blaze remains on police bail.
Police are now waiting for the results of a forensic examination of the scene.
