Kodaline sing "High Hopes" at funeral of Kilkenny girl Ciara Lawlor

Music superstars Kodaline paid an emotional tribute at the funeral of Kilkenny teenager Ciara Lawlor this afternoon.

The 17 year old collapsed and died following their concert in Marlay Park on Friday night due to a pre-existing condition.

The band sung a heart-wrenching version of “High Hopes” along with Ciara’s classmates from the Loreto choir.

Earlier, the 17-year old’s former classmates and friends from the O’Loughlin Gaels GAA club formed a massive guard of honour outside the church as Ciara’s remains were brought to the church.
