Gangland Shootings in Dublin MOD Warning in Post #1 (updated 29/05/16)

Yeah, sort of. Figured that someone on here might know something. I don't see any validity in his claim to the guards that he was involved in cage fighting. A very strange statement to make IMO

It's over 2 years old.
As with most of these cases, and mentioned in the link you posted, murdered over a drugs debt to a south inner city gang.
The article also mentioned the victim having links to other gangland assassins.
Don't think anymore needs to be said about possible reasons he was murdered.
If the cops don't know of one individual responsible, don't think a forum is going to know.

Are assassins usually found moving 300k worth of heroin?

This Jim?

James Talbot (46), who had a distinguished boxing career when he was younger and studied law in university, was targeted at Abbeywood Court, Lucan, Co Dublin, just before 10.30pm.
He was taken by ambulance to Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown after the attack.
The Garda said a car that may have been involved in the incident was found ablaze a short time afterwards in Earlsforth Estate, Lucan.
The scene of the shooting was sealed off last night and was due to undergo a full forensic examination this morning. The victim is well known in the boxing world and has worked in the fitness industry.
Gardaí said last night’s shooting had all the hallmarks of a gangland attack.
The office of the State Pathologist has been notified.
Gardaí are appealing for anyone who may have may have seen the car moving or being parked to contact gardaí in Lucan on 01 6667300, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.
The former professional boxer and personal trainer had been arrested in 1997 in possession of £300,000 worth of heroin by gardaí who spent two weeks under cover waiting for the drug to be collected.

He had a connection with John Gilligan or was that someone else

What a strange question.....revolving around cage fighting.
I don't get what answers you think you will get on the forum.

People do stupid and despicable things to get easy money, including jeopardise their entire family.
Ala hutches!!!!

What did the hutches do for easy money ?

Oh I see. So dosn't everyone that makes those career choices put their family in danger or is it just the hutches ?

Most people involved in organized gangland crime are putting their lives in danger to a degree... But thats not the reason the Hutches are in so much danger right now. Its because they took a shot at a leading criminal gang who dont let things like that slide.

Defenders of honour to the rescue.

Sure it's never easy to kidnap, extort, steal.
We should have respect for those that do.

And all without taking people's lives.
