Armed gardaí at funeral of Sligo shooting victim

The funeral has taken place of Hughie McGinley, the man killed in a drive-by shooting in Sligo last week.

There was a heavy armed garda presence near Saint Joseph’s Church in Ballytivnan this morning where the 26-year-old was buried.

Mr McGinley was gunned down in Sligo town centre last Thursday.

Gardaí suspect his murder is linked to a feud between rival criminal gangs.
