The body will repose at Rock's Funeral Home, Swords on Saturday afternoon.

The removal will then take place on Monday to St Finian's Church, River Valley, Swords, where his funeral mass will take place at 11am before burial in Dardistown Cemetery.

Speaking this week, his mother Igna told of her pain and devastation at losing the boy.

She said: "Our hearts are broken. It was such a shock.

"It's so, so hard. We just got back from the hospital two hours ago.

"Marius was pronounced dead on Sunday at half four. We made the decision to donate his organs and hopefully now that will change other people's lives.

"I think he would have wanted to do that because he cared for other people. He wanted to help people and he did."

A court has heard that apprentice electrician Marius was stabbed in the neck during an alleged incident on the evening of Thursday, February 23.

Brandon Gavin, 20, of Rivervalley, Swords, North Co Dublin, is charged under the Non- Fatal Offences Against the Person Act for causing serious harm to Mamaliga.
