The remains of a Cork Christian Brother, who died suddenly in Lanzarote, are expected to be repatriated to Ireland on Tuesday.
Brother Edmund Luke Kiely, a native of Whites Cross, Upper Glanmire, died while he was on a holiday, last week.
It is believed that Br Kiely, who was in his mid-70s, suffered a fatal coronary-related episode.
Br Kiely had been a living in Thurles, Co Tipperary in recent years. He had taught at a number of CBS schools across the country, including Dublin, Waterford, and Tipperary, prior to his retirement.
