TRIBUTES HAVE BEEN pouring in all week following the death of Munster and Ireland rugby legend Anthony Foley last weekend.

Today, his funeral is being held in Killaloe, where thousands are expected to line the streets of his hometown.

And at midday, radio stations around the country played The Fields of Athenry simultaneously in tribute
