Family appeals for end to bloody gangland feud

THE family of a young man murdered in a gangland-style hit yesterday appealed for an end to a feud that has so far left seven dead.

At the funeral Mass for 26-year-old Darren Geoghegan, his family asked to be associated with a plea from the pulpit for an end to the cycle of violence.

“When a cycle of killing and despair is at work, there is no way of knowing for whom the bell will yet toll,” said Fr Martin Cosgrave, parish priest for Drimnagh, home to the majority of those involved in the devastating cocaine-fuelled feud.
