The funeral of Chieftains founder Paddy Moloney is taking place in Co Wicklow today.
The musician's Mass will be held in St Kevin's Church in Glendalough this morning, with burial afterwards in the adjoining cemetery.
The 83-year-old set up the Chieftains in the 1960s, and helped to bring traditional Irish music into the mainstream.
Former US ambassador to Ireland, Kevin O'Malley, says his death has saddened his fans in America.
