Galway man Damian McGrath enjoys every day as a tour guide in Dublin city and is looking forward to many more – but he has already planned his funeral.

Mr McGrath (68), from Tuam and who has lived most of his life in the capital, is an atheist who doesn’t want a religious ceremony. He would also like to be cremated. He has been to his solicitor and put it all down in writing while handing over to a female friend who has signed off on looking after his future wishes when the times comes.
