The funeral Mass of  Clonoulty Rossmore and Tipperary senior hurling star Dillon Quirke takes place in Clonoulty this afternoon with traffic to be diverted away from the village on approach.

A traffic management plan will be in place from 10.30am as mourners are expected to arrive at the Church of St John the Baptists well in advance of the 12 noon Mass.

Motorists going towards Thurles will be diverted before Ballagh village through Drombane while those heading towards Tipp Town will be diverting at Holycross through Boherlahan.

Anyone who is not attending the funeral is urged to use an alternative route.

Stewards and members of An garda Siochana will be on duty throughout to help with traffic flow.
