Significant Garda presence at funeral of gangland feud victim

As undertakers mounted the floral displays on to the top of the horse-drawn carriage, the rain turned to sleet.

It whipped into family members and close friends gathered outside the home of murdered 27-year-old Derek Coakley Hutch, known as Del Boy.

While there was little protection against the elements, the family were protected by elite armed officers and uniformed gardaí, including a parked Armed Support Unit jeep.
