Shooting victim known to Garda for role in drugs trade

THE man who was gunned down in the hallway of his home in Co Cork yesterday was known to gardaí for his involvement in the drugs trade.

But neighbours who met Darren Falsey, 36, on a daily basis in and around Carrigaline described him as a devoted father who loved Munster rugby and Spurs soccer team. Some said they had heard rumours about his background.

“This is a small place and you hear a lot of things. I didn’t believe everything I heard,” one man said.
