Farmer who received fatal gunshot wounds described as ‘man of the land’

Mayo farmer Brendan Kilduff, who received fatal gunshot wounds on Tuesday night last, was described at his funeral Mass as “a man of the land, a man of family, a man of the parish, a generous soul.”
Fr Richard Gibbons, parish priest of Knock, Co Mayo, went on to tell mourners at the Requiem Mass for the 67-year-old that in the light of the tragic death the community is“troubled, perhaps angry and distraught”.
