Loyalist murder victim will 'never be mere statistic'

Loyalist murder victim Ciaran Cummings will never be ‘‘a mere statistic’’ of Northern Ireland’s Troubles, mourners at his funeral in Antrim were told today.

The Catholic Bishop of Down and Connor Dr Patrick Walsh told around 250 mourners at a Requiem Mass for Mr Cummings that while his name would probably be forgotten in the coming weeks, his memory would live on among those who knew him.
