    The biggest shock is the Gardai actually caught someone for it.

    Fair play to them too.. Apparently an armed patrol more than likely ERU, congrats to them. Another head banger off the streets for a few years.

    I believe Eamon Kelly was caught in the 90's by a gardai sting operation when he was smuggling in cocaine, he got a hefty sentance for it too if i recall correctly. Tony Felloni might be the one you're thinking of.
    I'm certain it was Larry Dunne. Anyone old enough to remember 80s Dublin will remember the notorious Dunnes.

    RTE are reporting that his condition is unknown, doesn't mention anything about him being dead.

    eople willing to murder others in broad daylight on busy streets.

    Where do these newspapers get their reporters?

    The article repeats three times that these murders took place "in broad daylight" and yet the intrepid hack doesn't once mention the time of day the attack took place.

    Honestly, he cant mention the time but is obsessed with "broad daylight". Wtf is broad daylight anyway? Would it have been less shocking if he'd been murdered in the dead of night?

    Edit; It turns out the "reporter" is the "security editor", I guess that explains why he doesn't wear a watch. ???

    *grumble*

    Killester and Clontarf are not the same place. They don't even share the same post code.

    Bad news can't happen in Clontarf :rolleyes:

    http://www.rte.ie/news/2012/1204/man-injured-in-dublin-shooting.html

    A 65-year-old convicted drug dealer has been shot dead in Dublin.
    The man was shot several times on Furry Park Road in Clontarf shortly after 4pm.
    He was taken to Beaumont Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
    He served a lengthy sentence in the 1990s for the possession of a large quantity of cocaine.
    Gardaí arrived at the scene shortly after the shooting and chased a car with two men inside.
    The car was later abandoned on the Stiles Road in Clontarf and one man, aged in his 30s, was arrested. He is being held at Clontarf Garda Station.
    The two scenes have been sealed off.
    The dead man is suspected of being involved in the killing of Alan Ryan, 32, on Grange Lodge Avenue in Clongriffin in September.
    Ryan, who was from Grange Abbey Drive in Donaghmede, had served jail terms for IRA activities and gun possession.

    I'm looking forward to the people who were outraged by those who labelled Alan Ryan a scumbag coming to the defence of this scumbag murdered by the other scumbag's gang.

    *waits*

    Another one bites the dust etc, one less criminal on the streets.

    We should have two types of statistics: gang/criminal scum murdered, innocents murdered.

    I'll pay attention to the latter.

    They probably caught him because the peelers tend to have armed units shadowing these guys like bodyguards, just so they don't get whacked.

    Maybe today is a cost saving in that regard.

    Not accidentally either.

    I have to say I'm stunned - stunned - that those guys aren't on here telling us how upset that guy's family and friends must be, and how we shouldn't believe what the police say about him, and how he's a hero in his community, and various other horsesh!t.

    Where are you guys??

    Don't really know, maybe that he has survived this long, as by reports he was up at very top of organised crime gangs in the city/country.
