Fresh witness appeal after former Real IRA chief gunned down as plans for funeral are made public

The key to identifying Aidan O’Driscoll’s killers may be stored in cameras of drivers who were in the Blackpool area of Cork City hours before last week’s brutal murder.

The former Real IRA chief was gunned down around 4.50pm on December 7 but gardaí now know the men involved were in the area for several hours beforehand.

A fresh witness appeal came yesterday as plans for the funeral of 37-year-old O’Driscoll were made public.
