    I think that particular dispute ended a few years ago, Bottler has been feuding with different people and has even fell foul of the Kinahans.

    Wasn't local anyway, they would have known that house to be pack with innocent.

    Hanlons corner 2013 revenge again, it definitely fits, the weapons they have/had access too.

    The cars used in the brutal murder of two innocent people in Ballymun last week were bought weeks earlier, gardaí have revealed.

    Mother-of-six Antoinette Corbally (48) and her friend Clinton Shannon (30) were gunned down last Wednesday, August 16 at her home on Balbutcher Drive.

    The intended target, Antoinette's brother Derek 'Bottler' Devoy, escaped without injury.

    This afternoon gardaí issued a fresh appeal for help from the public and released images of the cars used in the deadly double murder.
    Detective Superintendent Colm Fox, the senior investigating officer thanked members of the public, especially those in the Ballymun area, "for their assistance to date in this investigation".

    He said they have had an "excellent response" to their previous appeal for information but now wished to focus his appeal on the vehicles used.

    The first of these cars is a silver Opel Zafira registration number 08 LS 3101

    Prior to the murders, this car was parked beside a building site at the junction of Balbutcher Lane and Balbutcher Drive, Ballymun for at least an hour.

    Det Supt Fox said that from this vantage point the occupants had a clear view of the location where the murders took place.

    "When the intended target of the gunmen drove into Balbutcher Drive, the Opel Zafira car lefts its vantage point and followed the intended target to the location of the murders. The intended target escaped injury however two innocent persons were murdered and two others were injured."
    Investigating Gardai are asking members of the public did they notice this car parked at this junction beside the building site on the day of the murder or indeed any other day.

    Following the double killing the occupants abandoned the Opel car and fled the scene on foot through bollards at the end of Balbutcher Drive onto Crannoge Terrace.

    A black golf registration number 06-LH-3466 was waiting for them here and drove them away. It travelled across Ballymun in the direction of Ikea, on through the Northwood business, retail and housing development and on into Santry Close where it was set on fire.

    Detective Superintendent Colm Fox added: "These cars were purchased in the weeks preceding the murders and had to have been parked up somewhere. I am asking members of the public to contact us if indeed they did see these cars parked up anywhere or even similar type cars.
    "Parking spaces in apartment complexes, housing estates, and other parking areas are at a premium. Was your parking spot or a neighbours blocked by either of these cars or similar cars or indeed any car for any length of time? Any information you may have, no matter how insignificant it might seem to be to you, could be very important to the investigation"
    Gardai are appealing for witnesses or anyone with any information to contact them at:

    • Ballymun Garda Station 01-6664400
    • Garda Confidential line 1800666111

    • E-Mail: Ballymun_Incident_Room@garda.ie

    Both cars were paid for.
    I've never seen or took notice of a garda incident email address before.
