The Dáil has heard strong condemnation of the murder of PSNI Constable Ronan Kerr.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny has confirmed that he will be attending the funeral of Constable Kerr tomorrow.
Mr Kenny said his attendance, as well as being a statement of solidarity with the family, would be a statement that the Oireachtas and the vast majority of people of Ireland abhor what had happened.
He said he condemned what he called the 'callous murder' of Constable Kerr.
He said it ran contrary to the expressed will of the people.
Mr Kenny said the Government would do its utmost to ensure the success of the peace process and would make sure gardaí have the resources they need to co-operate with the PSNI in the investigation.
Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin described the murder as a shocking attack on the peace process and a human tragedy of immense proportions.
Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams said he agreed entirely with the Taoiseach on what he called a 'dreadful action'.
A £50,000 reward is being offered to anyone who comes forward with information that helps police catch those behind the murder of Constable Kerr.
The crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers has said it will offer up the money for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the 'despicable crime'.
The funeral of Mr Kerr will take place in Co Tyrone tomorrow.
The requiem mass will be held in the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Beragh, with burial afterwards in Drumduff Cemetery.
The body of the 25-year-old was returned to his family home in Beragh last night.
Mr Kerr was killed by a car bomb in Omagh on Saturday.
The under-car device was probably detonated using a mercury tilt switch and was housed in a grey plastic container.
The device also contained a timer mechanism that may have been used for the safety of the bombers.
Mr Kerr was leaving his home to start work at Enniskillen police station in Co Fermanagh when he was killed.
Speaking on RTÉ's The Frontline last night, Minister for Justice Alan Shatter said the authorities on both sides of the border would leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of those responsible.
Dissident republicans have been blamed for the attack, but no armed group has yet claimed responsibility for the blast.
Murder 'should not' deter Catholics from joining PSNI
Catholic Bishop of Derry Dr Séamus Hegarty has said the murder of Mr Kerr 'can not' and 'should not' deter people from entering the PSNI.
Ronan Kerr's mother, Nuala, has also urged young Catholics not to be deterred from joining the PSNI.
The bishop urged people considering a career with the police force and those who are already members 'to follow their dreams'.
Bishop Hegarty said it was 'great to know' there were still people in the community prepared to make 'heroic and courageous' decisions.
He also described as very significant and very welcome news that First Minister Peter Robinson would be attending tomorrow's funeral.
