The Hutch family have pleaded for no more revenge or retaliation attacks following an escalation of violence in the city in recent weeks.
The call was made at the funeral of Eddie Hutch which has passed off peacefully on Sean McDermot Street.
A sign saying ‘taxi’ was placed above Eddie Hutch’s coffin as it arrived at Our lady of Lourdes Church on Sean McDermott Street. His brother, The Monk, attended the service.
Speaking to those gathered at Our Lady of Lourdes Church on Sean McDermott Street - Fr Richard Ebejer said the family does not want any retaliation for Mr Hutch's death.
It's believed he was killed in response to the murder of David Byrne - who was shot dead at the Regency Hotel in Dublin - earlier this month.
The 59 year old taxi driver was gunned down at his home last week in an apparent revenge attack for the murder of David Byrne who had been shot dead at the Regency Hotel days earlier.
Floral tributes which read ‘gentleman’ and ‘grandad’ accompanied the hearse as hundreds of mourners paid their respects to a man described as the life of the party.
Eddie’s brother - Gerry the Monk Hutch –was at the funeral where Fr Richard Ebejer said nobody deserved to die the way Eddie did.
He said the Hutch family want no more revenge or retaliation and they are calling on everybody for this cycle of violence to stop and to stop now.
