Hundreds of people have attended the funeral of retried Detective Garda Ben O’Sullivan, a two-time recipient of the Garda Scott Medal for Bravery, who survived an IRA gun attack 26 years ago.
Mr O’Sullivan, 78, a native of Mallow, Co Cork, was laid to rest in Co Limerick after his funeral mass held at St Mary’s Church, Athlunkard Street, Limerick City.
Mourners heard he had suffered the horrors of being seriously wounded and losing his best friend and garda colleague Detective Garda Jerry McCabe in an IRA gun attack in Adare on June 7, 1996.
