Commissioner leads senior gardaí in final farewell to colleague

GARDA Commissioner Martin Callinan along with a large number of senior ranking members attended the funeral of a colleague who died after his cancer was misdiagnosed.

Hundreds packed St James’ Church in Ballinora, Co Cork, yesterday to hear tributes being paid to Superintendent Martin Dorney, who died on January 7, two days after his 51st birthday.

His coffin was adorned with the Irish flag, a picture of him in uniform and his Garda hat and gloves.
