    Lot going around that it’s ballymun related but from reading this guy was also a suspect in shooting at Sheridan court last summer and nearly every article says he was hutch aligned, given the track record of kinahan crew it’s pointing to them particularly with the shooting connection if that’s true and also if we was dating someone from hutch family

    The fact he had such a reputation with a firearm would mean the K cartel would have to take precautions, maybe eliminate him first before he got the chance to do anything.

    I seriously doubt they care much about the murdered in sheridan court, but they would eliminate him before he got anyone they did care about.

    I would say most likely its Ballymun related.

    I think the Garda are going to come in for some criticism on this one. Looks like they have been shown up, major funeral tomorrow and someone shot dead the night before.

    i love garda bashing, its in my genes (haha) but the guards can only do so much with so many feuds they cannot stop these killings everyone with a grudge can act without fear knowing they the guards are so stretched over time cut(is garda numbers in dublin down?) and they the crims have better intelligence guns and cars to name a few.

    I don’t know, that guy was a brother of one of their key guys, I don’t think they would let that ago going by their track record of being relentless in seeking revenge

    He was a brother of a hitman, not exactly one of their hey guys, hitmen come a dime a dozen.

    And brother-in-law (for all intents and purposes) of one of the more infamous family members. We saw Eddie Hutch Sr gunned down for simply having the wrong family name, it wouldn't be a stretch. Although tbf, this guy was a serious fcuker so could be either reason, if they even need reasons that is.

    Giving how reckless this guy could be is it a possibility that he may have been killed by his own?

    How can dublin and Ireland create such gangs?

    Were such a small country, its baffling.

    I'd say that's part of it, to be honest. This goes beyond money and pragmatism, for a lot of these guys it's deeply personal and is about avenging the murders of their friends and family members. Once it morphs from a dispute over business to a personal vendetta of revenge, it's completely inevitable that it spirals out of control - and where Dublin's somewhat uniquely tiny degree of separation between any two of its residents (AKA the number of "hops" from one friend to another connecting you or me with literally any other person in the city) comes in is that when one of these guys gets murdered, the fallout extends to possibly hundreds of people who if not directly known to the victim, would be closely enough associated with members of his or her family to be angry enough to potentially go out looking for vengeance.

    I mean I've never been in any situation like this and I'm not a violent person, but if one of my friends was murdered in this manner I can't be at all sure that I wouldn't be persuaded to get involved in trying to find and punish the scumbag who did it. This is especially true in a country where criminals get such laughable sentences that the victim's family would probably feel a sense of injustice even if the person was caught and convicted. Look at that horrible home invasion in Tipperary a few years ago - with some of those involved getting sentences of five years or less, in all honesty if the victims were close friends or family members of mine and I had a bigger pair of bollocks than I do, I'd probably be taking the law into my own hands and looking to beat seven shades of sh!te out of those guys at a bare minimum.

    It's a combination of all these factors which IMO makes Dublin a perfect breeding ground for this kind of feuding.

    Even still, it’s the only time someone hit back at them, it’s almost a reputational thing, to me they would want to avenge that to show nobody dare come at them or they will take you out sooner or later

    doubt that now tom.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,651 ✭✭✭tomofson


    doubt that now tom.

    Id say its highly possible, no gang likes innocent blood on there hands as its bad for business, look what happened to Glen Clarke

    Exactly if they are willing to kill people that just share a surname and had never crossed them then it’s highly likely they would take someone out who had actually murdered someone connected to them, I would say more than highly likely imo

    Every Hutch that has been killed was involved in criminality in one way or another.

    None have been killed solely and only because of their surnames.

    Again. I am not blaming the Garda, they are doing there best to contain this. If anyone that should be in for cristisim it's the government and justice system. I don't think I have heard the Justice Minister address this ever. The justice system is a shambles, falling apart and it's beyond a joke on all front at this stage.

    Where do you even start with this mess. The reason we have some many gangs here is because it's so laxy daisy when it comes to justice. Even white collar stuff is treated as a joke.

    It is nuts, I used to ask the same question about Limerick back in the 00s...

    We are a real complex place...

    We like to think we are a very safe country, to be fair it is for most of us...

    We are proud that our ordinary guards are unarmed...

    But we have a Special Criminal Court (juryless) which is much needed but nonetheless very controversial....

    We are a violent country, in my lifetime, I have witnessed a bloody terrorist war played out in our Northern Provence....at one point the most militarised provence in Europe...I have seen a very violent 10 year feud in a small provincial city....Dublin has had about a dozen different violent feuds in the last 20 years including this extremely violent feud....

    We have a separate ethnic group who engage in very violent and often under reported crime...

    On top of that, there have been over 200 women murdered in this state over the last the last 20 years...

    Spit balling here....

    Hutch women take the Irish state to the ECJ for failing to protect their husbands/sons/fathers

    Eddie hutch was definitely killed because of his surname

    i like wild theories myself, but no i think it was you that mentioned the bottler hit, is most likely at the moment.

    No thats a myth, he was killed because he played a peripheral role in a certain attack(not sure if i should mention it as there is a trial at the moment).

    You may be right actually, remember reading something like that a while back

    I do believe that is the most likely reason, but I wouldnt rule out the other theory either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,798 ✭✭✭✭hatrickpatrick


    Yeah there are a few lanes and blind spots but it's hardly a maze. Gardai will presumably blame resourcing which is fair enough

    Not a maze but if the guy was on foot or even a motorbike and jumped a few walls in order to get at the back of the place, he'd be long gone and away by the time the Gardai managed to follow him.

    Just went through a checkpoint there at whitechurch


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,459 ✭✭✭Gadgetman496


    He was 26 according to RTE
    Gardaí believe that the shooting is more likely connected to an attempt on the life of a man in Ballymun last year, which resulted in the double murder of his sister and friend.

    Can’t agree with that, perhaps they all had backgrounds in criminality however they weren’t all directly involved in the regency, duck egg, duggan etc, the kinahans aren’t concerned with their careers in criminality, the eddie involvement with regency is bit of a myth also and hasn’t been proven either way, to me he was a soft target for them. They are systematically murdering men either directly or indirectly linked through even just a friendship to one particular family. The level of such relentless brutality this country has never experienced in terms of criminal gangs, this is far more than criminality this is personal.

    So my point is that if this guy actually murdered someone directly or indirectly linked to them, they would most certainly settle that score and would no way let that go.

    Its not as simple as you make it out, those people you mentioned all had "business" relationships with a certain family, its a matter of attacking their rivals in the pocket. Duggan also is said to have had a peripheral role in the a certain attack.
