The funeral is set for later this week.

The funeral details have been announced following the deaths of a mum and son who were discovered in their home in Dublin.

The remains of 44 year old Kate Donohoe and her 11 month old baby Vincent were discovered in an upstairs bedroom in their home in Beechwood estate in Clonee, Dublin 15 on Saturday.

The family has now said they “died peacefully” and confirmed they are to hold a private funeral service.

They also said that any donations can be made to St Vincent de Paul “in memory of Kate and Vincent”.
