The bodies of two Dublin teenagers who died in Greece over the weekend will be repatriated today.
Andrew O'Donnell and Max Wall died in separate incidents while on a sixth-year holiday in Ios.
Post-mortem examinations on the bodies of the two Irish teenagers concluded yesterday in Athens.
The classmates, who had just completed their exams at St Michael’s College in Donnybrook in south Dublin, were two of around 90 students from the same school who had gone to the Greek island last week to celebrate completing their exams.
Andrew went missing on Friday and his body was found on Sunday at around lunchtime after a massive search operation on the island.
Max fell ill on Sunday near the port on the island and was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The college in south Dublin has been holding twice-daily prayer services for the families while they are in Greece.
Many thanks to everyone for the ongoing messages of support and kindness. Please feel free to join us for a livestream of our prayer services at 12pm and 6pm, at the link below. Books of condolence are also available for those joining us in school. https://t.co/XxIqis1fvh pic.twitter.com/1JuaN4dvIs
