The senior Republican will be buried on Tuesday.
He died on Sunday following a period of illness - it's understood he was undergoing surgery in England.
Sinn Féin president Mary Lou McDonald led the tributes describing him as "a great republican".
The north Belfast man was considered the head of intelligence of the IRA for a period from the mid-1990s and was named as such under parliamentary privilege.
Security sources have linked him to several major incidents, including the £26m Northern Bank robbery in 2004.
