Callum English, aged 12, was a member of Johnville Football Club, whose players formed a guard of honour as the remains arrived on Sunday. Callum lost his life alongside his nine-year-old brother Jayden and their parents Philip and Kim English in Tuesday's arson attack on the family home. A funeral mass is scheduled at Sacred Heart Church on Monday afternoon. Two children who survived the attack remain in hospital under garda guard.

Cian Stacey, 21, and Jessica Dalton, 31, face criminal damage and serious-assault charges.

The surviving boy remains in a critical condition, while his teenage sister is 'slowly making progress'.
