The two bus drivers involved in a accident in which five people died in Dublin were interviewed by gardai this afternoon as one of the victim's bodies was flown home to the Ukraine.
Vasyl Tyminskyy was accompanied by his wife, Svitlana and 11 -year-old daughter Khrystyna on his final journey following a special memorial service in Lucan, Co Dublin.
Svitlana and Khrystyna are not expected to return to Ireland in the wake of the tragedy.
Tyminskyy was talking to his daughter on his mobile telephone when a bus hit him as he waited at the Wellington Quay bus stop in Dublin city centre on Saturday afternoon.
Three Irish women and an Irish man were also killed when the out of service bus passed another on the inside and mounted a kerb before striking a group of passengers queuing to board a stationary bus.
The two drivers were initially too traumatised to speak to gardai about the accident. However, a spokeswoman for Dublin Bus said a decision to interview the men had been taken after receiving medical advice.
Hundreds of mourners at St Mary's Church were told Tyminskyy worked every hour God sent to support his family.
The 33-year-old plasterer moved to Dublin with his wife and daughter three years ago before settling in Lucan's Kew Park.
The couple were due to celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary on Sunday, the day after the accident which claimed his life.
Tyminskyy's wife lit a candle during the service in recognition of the couple's Eastern Orthodox religious beliefs. This was the first service to be held for any of the victims of the accident.
