Funeral of homeless campaigner Cllr Anthony Flynn to take place today

The funeral of homeless campaigner and Dublin City Councillor Anthony Flynn takes place this morning.

His funeral mass begins at 10.30 am in The Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, Sean McDermott St, for family and close friends, with a limit of 50 people.

Following the mass, his funeral cortege will follow the route past the family-run Lloyds Bar and the office of Inner City Helping Homeless.

Neighbours and friends who cannot attend the funeral because of Covid-19 guidelines are expected to line the route before Mr Flynn’s remains are brought to Dardistown Cemetery.

The Independent Councillor for the North Inner City was found dead in Caledon Court, East Wall, last Wednesday.
