Episode 474: The funeral of Jason 'Jay' ...

Sunday World
About this episode

Fears are growing of a bloody revenge attack after the funeral of Christmas Eve gun victim Jason Hennessy.


The father of six was buried last weekend in an ‘Incredible Hulk’ themed funeral which was attended by hundreds of friends and family as well as the criminal fraternity.


Three busloads of public order Gardaí were brought in along with Armed Support units to patrol the area during the service which featured a green coffin inscribed with the words ‘The Boss Man’ and a green recovery truck.


Nicola speaks to Niall Donald about the ongoing fallout from the murder of Hennessy and the killing of gunman Tristan Sherry in a crowded steakhouse.
