Funeral to take place for Garda Kevin Flatley after colleagues paid tribute with constant vigil this week

Flatley, a father of two and the 90th Garda killed in service, will be privately laid to rest afterward in Newcastle, Co Dublin.

Garda Superintendent Liam Geraghty conveyed that since Kevin passed away last Sunday, a member of An Garda Síochána has remained by his side continuously, demonstrating deep respect for his sacrifice.

After the funeral, Gda Flatley will be privately laid to rest in Newcastle, Co Dublin, marking the end of a tragic loss for his family and colleagues.
