The sudden tragic deaths of the three Co Down men in a slurry tank accident on Saturday devastated their closely knit community and has caused profound shock and sadness across Northern Ireland, particularly in the farming and rugby communities with Nevin having been an Ulster Rugby star.

A private service will be held at the family home at Drumlough Road, Hillsborough, this morning before the thanksgiving service at the church at 2pm.
