Funeral Mass took place on Thursday at St Mary of the Rosary Church followed by burial in Lisboney Cemetery.

Tipperary North TD, Alan Kelly said: "I was very upset to hear of the passing of Mikey Shoer last weekend.

"I was friendly with ‘Slick’ since school and we played rugby together underage for Nenagh RFC for many years.

"Mikey was a very decent fella whose company I used to enjoy when we’d meet while out and about. He had an infectious laugh that would put you in good humour.
