I just booked a weekend away in the hotel there in Clontarf Castle this morning :rolleyes:

Sounds like the report was written by Padraiggg.

.jacksparrow.

Killer caught already.

Seems the hit man got caught also, ERU just happened to be around Clontarf Killester which is also interesting..

RTE says it happened in Fury Park which I am sure is in Killester not Clontarf as both articles suggest.

The Eamon Kelly I know is a lovely guy. Thread title has weirded me out!

fasttalkerchat

Could be revenge for Alan Ryan or it could be the gangs hitting each other. We'll know once we hear who was arrested.

Can't wait for the over exaggerations and fall of a kingpin bull of a man I've never heard about until now.

Full details on the life and times of Eamon Kelly from our security editor Tom Brady in our print edition tomorrow

This guy if I am correct introduced heroin to Dublin/Ireland ?

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.

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

If he had no Sunday World nickname he's a no mark.

As far as I know he was the guru for Eamonn Dunne and his gang. Head of planning and operations.

Very good at being a scumbag?

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.

Eamonn kelly is an ex official IRA man who was sent to prison years ago for a vicious assault, In the 80,s he was sentenced to another long stretch for cocaine smuggling,one of the first to try and import here.He is also the brother of des kelly of the carpets factories.There was also an attempt to kill him earlier this year and also he is great friends with dessie o hare .

I'm certain it was Larry Dunne. Anyone old enough to remember 80s Dublin will remember the notorious Dunnes.

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*

On the radio they said he was alive, taken to Beaumount.

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.
