It was a boxing weigh-in at a hotel. That means boxers, trainers, promoters, hotel staff, hotel guests, kids, general public and then the aforementioned criminals would have been present. I'm sure they were all criminals though.

Exactly. A friend of mine works in the hotel all be it off today I am sure will get the low down later. It's a very reputable hotel with guests ranging from people on holiday as well as airline staff who stay there. Likely that they will lose out on business because of this because of a bunch of selfish knuckle dragging scummers can't sort out their own **** away from normal civilization and people trying to earn a living, enjoy a holiday or go about their own lawful business.

Boxing has always attracted a dubious scum element. Interesting to see some of the attitudes who are less concerned for anyone innocent caught up in the scary situation like staff, holiday makers but "ohhh **** they cancelled my night of entertainment, why isnt this still going ahead im so pissed off".. eejits all.

Nice to know that this incident, which could have easily killed innocent people, including children, is so funny to boards.

Utterly baffling what's funny about a man being shot dead.
Serious saddoes making jokes about this.

One guy quoted by the BBC says the Garda told him the weapons were AK-47s.

Aren't independent supposed to be one of the more respected news outlets in Ireland?

Any semblance of respectability was lost when their big headline immediately after a politician was killed in a car crash was a claim that he was in the car with a prostitute.

She was the interpreter and later won a large defamation suit against them.

Dirtbags at the Indo.

When you live by the sword, you die by the sword. This is not a thread about an innocent man shot dead. So far all reports are of one of the targets getting hit. A target who was involved in gangland crime. It's a horrible experience for the innocent people who were present but by all means do not expect RIP wishes for thugs.

Shocking video.

This should put paid to the barstoolers who promote the idea of gangland figures taking each other out.
This shows the collateral damage of possible innocent victims an traumatised bystanders.
That poor kid and many others won't sleep well for a long time.

From reading a book about the Limerick gangs the going rate for them seemed to be €20,000. Probably depends on who you're working for and who's the intended target.

That video is too like what I saw and heard from the Paris attacks. Past time these families found themselves playing cards in military prison for 40 years.

Whats the noise at 16 seconds? Is it glass being broke or a gun being loaded?

i was told about this happening earlier on and was told ak47s too. someone who knew someone that was in there. i think this could be a watershed like veronica guerin. its a step too far.

everyone knows the name,but knows nothing about them,compared to say the Dundons in Limerick who are the in sunday world every week.the Kinahans seem to be a level above and apparently have very good connections with crime gangs/families across Europe.

One of them did 2 documentaries on Kinnehan and the lifestyle he leads in the costa del sol and other countries. They went to various properties he owns that have been repossessed, they showed all the bars and businesses he's involved in and they did profiles on all his known associates. They even went to the prison he was in until recently in the Netherlands (I think).

They finished off detailing his business plans for the future to build luxury resorts in places like Brazil.

Usually released around 9pm or so, possibly just after the news at 9 on online media.
