Hundreds mourn as doting father buried

MURDER victim Wayne Doherty was laid to rest yesterday with hundreds of mourners accompanying the 32-year-old father-of-two’s funeral procession.

The coffin, draped in the tricolour, was carried by men neatly dressed in white shirts and black ties as a tin whistle player walked in front playing a lament.

Mr Doherty was gunned down outside his parents home in Hartstown, west Dublin, by gang members as he attempted to intercede on behalf of neighbour it is believed the gunmen intended to attack.
