There have been emotional scenes at the funeral of Jason Corbett in Co Limerick.

Gifts of images reflecting his love of sport were brought to the altar at Our Lady Queen of Peace Church by his 10-year-old son Jack and 8-year-old daughter Sarah.

The children were at the centre of a bitter custody battle in North Carolina, before the courts decided they should be cared for by Mr Corbett's family in Limerick.

Mr Corbett was found with critical head injuries at his US home earlier this month.

His wife and father in law are "persons of interest" in the investigation into his death - but have not been officially named as suspects.

Fr Pat O'Sullivan had this message for Jason's two children.
