    So I take it when they say he was in the Ira he was actually a bank robber that paid protection to the ira .?
    he was nothing to do with the IRA on any level, he was involved with the Official IRA in the 80's. Gilmore will have a minute silence in the Dáil tomorrow for his former colleague

    Anyone else asking themselves just quiet how thick these 'crimebosses' really are when they go wandering around the place even though they know full well that they are targets and in this guys case there was a previous attempt to kill him in the exact same spot two years ago!

    he was killed outside his house, same place the other attempt was made on him where the gun jammed.

    And he stayed there after that? Unless one has more balls than sense, that's a pretty unambiguous indication that one should consider relocation ... :rolleyes:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    The prisons are overflowing for a reason!Most of these guys are as thick as two short planks.If you want to arrest/kill any of them you just sit outside the girlfriends/mothers/gym at the usual time and wait.They are creatures of habit usually.:rolleyes:

    I am sure he had credible threats on his life and notified by gardai of them, He should have taken better safety precautions,Its a vicious circle all this killing and know good what so ever comes out of it.

    Don't be ridiculous,If it was as simple as that we wouldn't have any crime or criminals,ps most of the criminals in prison would be well down the pecking order,There are very few major Dublin criminals doing serious time.

    Nothing ridiculous about it.Arresting someone is easy.Getting a conviction with all the legal loopholes is the hard part.There are very many Major Dublin criminals pushing up daisies,which proves my point.

    In fairness if you are involved in serious crime and your life has been threaten as well as an assassination attempt already you I would certainly reconsider where I was staying,He had to know this might/would happen.

    I didn't say it was all good.I just disagreed with the opinion that no good came out of gangsters getting shot.Obviously innocent bystanders getting killed is terrible.Donna Cleary was not killed because of anything to do with a gangland dispute,so I fail to see why you mention her.She was killed by some lowlife who was refused entry to a house party and fired into a house full of people.She was just unfortunate( said lowlife died subsequently in a cell in Coolock Garda station).I am familiar also with the case of the young plumber who was shot during the Marlo Hyland killing.I am not familiar with anyone else you mentioned

    The shooting came just hours after an unrelated incident in the north inner city today when a 21-year-old suspected member of the Real IRA was caught with a pistol in a car when the vehicle was stopped and searched by the Special Detective Unit and Emergency Response Unit.

    Why would I want to familiarize myself with gangland killings? I might make it my specialized subject at the next pub quiz.You seem to think you are an authority on the subject,yet you included Donna Cleary whose killing was not gang related.Seems to me you need to do some homework if you are going to start naming innocent people.I do not consider someone who has links to major criminal gangs and is in a relationship with a criminal to be an innocent victim either.

    They caught someone with a gun today . Thought it was someone on the way to kill this fella .
    Id wonder is there a connection with this and the garda being on the scene . Did the garda know then let it happen then arrest the baddies or were they meant to stop it happening and fooked it up .
