The Garda Commissioner has asked that Colm Horkan be remembered for the way he lived his life, rather than how he died.
The 49-year-old Mayo native was laid to rest on Sunday in Charlestown, days after he was shot dead in Castlerea where he was based as a detective.
Stephen Silver, of Aughaward, Foxford, appeared in court last Friday charged with the murder of Detective Horkan.
