Police arrest 15 at funeral of dissident republican Michael Barr

Fifteen men were yesterday arrested at the funeral of a dissident republican in Northern Ireland.

Michael Barr, aged 35, from Strabane, Co Tyrone, had been shot dead in a Dublin bar last month. He was hit up to three times when two gunmen burst into the Sunset House pub in the Summerhill area of the city.

He died at the scene. His murder is believed to be linked to the bloody power struggle between the Kinahan and Hutch families and their associates.
