Murder victim came from ‘well respected’ family

THE family of the man who was gunned down in Cork last week are well-respected and have the support of their local community, a priest told mourners yesterday.

Canon Donal Linehan was speaking at the private funeral ceremony for Darren Falsey in the Church of St James, a little church in Ballinora on the western outskirts of Cork city, close to Waterfall where the victim of a suspected gangland attack grew up.

From a well-respected family who distanced themselves from his illegal activity, Mr Falsey, 36, was a suspected drug dealer.
