Funeral today of murder victim Vincent Ryan

The funeral will take this morning of Vincent Ryan who shot dead while in a car outside his partner’s house on McKee Road in Finglas last week.

His brother Alan Ryan, who was a member of the Real IRA, was shot dead in 2012.

Vincent is survived by his partner Kelly and daughter Phoenix.

The gunmen abandoned the burned-out car on Red Lane near Newhall, Naas and the area was sealed off to traffic for several hours.

The silver VW Golf registration 07-KE-10213 was taken during a burglary on 13th October 2015 at Cluaindara, Derrinstown.

The Mass will take place in the Church of the Holy Trinity, Donaghmede at 10am, followed by burial in Fingal Cemetery.

An armed garda presence is expected at the funeral.

In a statement released at the weekend by Vincent’s brother Dermot Ryan on behalf of the family, the Ryans said Vincent was not in the IRA when he was shot.

The family stated that Vincent would receive a “traditional republican family funeral” but would "not receive a military funeral.”

They called for “no retaliation” for his murder.
