Gardaí to be present at dealer’s funeral

GARDAÍ are expected to maintain a discreet presence at the funeral today of one of Cork’s leading drug dealers, murdered in a gangland style shooting at the weekend.

Eric Cummins’s funeral Mass, in his home area of the Lough, will be held as a major garda investigation continues into his death, the first gangland murder in Cork in more than four years.

Up to 40 gardaí, including a substantial number of detectives, have been assigned to the investigation, with an incident room set up at Gurranbraher Garda Station.
