The funeral arrangements for Ireland AM chef Joe Shannon have been announced.
Joe passed away peacefully on March 4, aged 59, after battling with bowel cancer. He was surrounded by his family at North West Hospice, in Sligo.
The chef was diagnosed in March 2021 after doctors discovered a blockage in his intestines.
Joe was originally from Milltown, Drumcliffe, in Co Sligo.
The removal will take place this Thursday to Saint Colmcille's Church, in Rathcormac, arriving at 7pm. Mass of the resurrection will take place this Friday, at 11am.
Joe's funeral mass will be live-streamed, then followed by burial in Rathcormac New Cemetery.
