Bishop’s plea to families: don’t be afraid

DON’T be afraid — that was the message from the Archbishop of Dublin yesterday in the wake of several gun murders in the capital.

As the community of north inner city Dublin prepared to bury young plumber Anthony Campbell, Dr Diarmuid Martin told families to stand strong against gang killings.

Twenty-year-old Anthony was shot dead while fixing a radiator in Finglas, because he unwittingly saw the killer of a major drug lord, Martin ‘Marlo’ Hyland.
