Mourners queue to pay their respects

DOZENS of mourners queued yesterday to pay their respects to former Taoiseach Charles Haughey within minutes of a book of condolence being opened in the heart of his old constituency.

Outside, workers scrambled to repaint railings and touch up the flagpole where the tricolour flew at half-mast at Our Lady of Consolation Church in Donnycarney, north Dublin.

This is where the one-time TD for the area will lie in state before being buried on Friday.
