Well I was more thinking for the innocent family memebers who get shot in order to hurt a gangster relative, I mean it's not their fault who's family they were born into

In fairness, I left school (private) in 2008 right at the tail end of the Celtic Tiger (bank shares collapsed the previous summer in 2007, knock on effects didn't hit the wider economy until Autumn 2008) and you'd be amazed at the ridiculous amounts of money which were thrown at things like that. Wouldn't surprise me at all if someone providing a service like that could get completely loaded from it - it wasn't just debs, people would hire stuff like that for their birthdays, going away / coming home parties, end of exams, etc. It was a normal thing for a lot of the D4 crowd, at least for a while.
I always preferred to save my socialising budget for actual booze, so we'd get the DART into town but we'd be downing vodka and other such niceties on it the whole way in

I want my funeral to be a massive sesh, so f*ck the expensive limos or caskets or anything for my actual body,if I have cash I'll put some aside for a free bar and a DJ so people will be like "Remember Paddy's funeral? That was a f*cking epic day"
I've never really understood the idea of a grandiose funeral procession or aesthetic tbh, if I had that kind of money to spend on it I'd rather spend it on entertaining whoever shows up. I suppose maybe the grandiose procession offers some kind of comfort to the grieving? Call me a cynic, but when I look at photos of David Byrne's funeral (which took place literally next door to where I went to college, they closed the building for the day on the grounds that the Gardai were sweeping the street for bombs etc the morning before) it strikes me that the grandiosity wasn't so much for him or his family, as much as it was the crew sending out a message that "we're rich and powerful as f*ck, don't mess with us" to those who had targeted them.0 -
