A memorial Mass was held at the University Church at St Stephen's Green in Dublin yesterday for the Irish-American politician and civil rights lawyer, Mr Paul O'Dwyer.
The celebrant was Dom Brian P. Murphy OSB of Glenstal Abbey, Co Limerick, and the congregation was led in singing by the Glenstal Schola choir and accompanied by an organist and baritone.
Mr Brian O'Dwyer, a son of Mr O'Dwyer, read one of the scripture readings and other members of the family also took part in the service.
On Friday, Mr O'Dwyer will present President Clinton with the Paul O'Dwyer Peace Prize at a special function at the White House.
