RIP: "A lovely man" - Tributes pour in for deeply loved Kilkenny priest

Tributes have been paid to Castlecomer native Fr Liam Shore who passed away earlier this week.

Fr Shore was a much loved figure in the North Kilkenny town, contributing to a variety of roles including as a committee member of the Erin's Own GAA Club.
