Fiancée of slain ex-dissident leader ‘turned his life around’
A huge crowd gathered at Saint Oliver’s Church in Ballyvolane on Cork’s northside to bid farewell to the 37-year-old, who was shot dead in Blackpool on December 7.
Mourners recalled the native of Glenheights Park as a son, a brother, a father, a man engaged to be married to “the love of his life”, and someone who, through his playing and coaching of sport, had played a role in his local community.
