The SW has always been a joke of a paper, but it was never helped much by them. It's always been a borderline porn mag with a segment about crime. It must be ten years or so since I quit the paper.

The basic outlook of real journalists:
"I have six faithful serving men on whom I do rely
Their names are who and what and where, how and when and why."

The basic outlook of the SW:
"If on this paper you want to go far
Confine your reporting to Goo, Gee and GAA!"

So what has happened? Has the Garda crackdown really made violence an awkward price of doing business?

Yes and no.Im not a big fan of the police and the feeling is mutual but credit where credits due,they're keeping a lid on things to a certain extent. At street level,business as you call it hasn't changed all that much.
The area around sherrifer has had a more or less fixed police presence for the past 15 years,long before this 'feud' began, but all through that time,it was one of few parts of the city centre where the art of street dealing still flourished.The police seem to be better briefed now,I'm originally from summerhill and growing up the police would basically harass teenagers,left the main heads alone and generally didn't do themselves any favours.Since the current 'feud' blew up,they seem to be getting their priorities right insofar as targeting the right people instead of treating everyone in the area between the ages of 12 to 50 with contempt. They kinda shot themselves in the foot in that regard. And it will take a generation or two at least before they manage to get people in the area back on their side.

Doubt it, they still want murtagh and of course gerry hutch.

Thats the main man gone today, assuming he doesn't pull a miracle and make a recovery.

One of their other targets could of made a deal and tipped off as where to find mago... A few weeks ago he begged in court that his drivers licence not be taking away, maybe that could have something to do with how they got him so easy this time round...

Looks like hes going to survive, due to wearing a bullet proof vest. Although the journal reported he was shot twice in the head.

Early media reports are always sketchy I wouldn't necessarily believe any of them at this stage,

What amazes me is, he was a no1 target why the fcuk is he still in the country! There's a reason the main players on the Kinahan's aren't in the country so they are not easy targets..

He wouldn't have access to the type of money the other crowd would.

Im sure he's not stuck for a few pound! sure the Monk is worth millions has he just turned his back on everyone! highly doubt it..

If the monk was even to try and give a few quid to all of his extended family he would go broke in a flash, I can guarantee there not all living off him.

No he's not stuck for a few quid certainly not, but he wouldn't be raking in billions

Id imagine gerrys funds will be running low soon enough with all the travelling around the media are saying hes doing.

His funds are limited, the other crowd make millions everyday.

Jaysus, Maggo has already had more lives than a cat. If he pulls through this one it'll be nothing short of a miracle.

I'd say Daniel Kinahan will rest a little easier tonight either way though - Maggo has quite the string of murders to his name and I sure as hell wouldn't want him out to get me...

He carried out those string of murders with the help of those he now calls his enemies, I'd say he's about as dangerous as a one legged mouse by his own. And he is very much so all by his own.

I tell you one thing the big boys have some intel! He was just off a plane apparently.. How can such a small country have such big cartels.. We really must be one of the most corrupt countries in the world!! So hard to catch all these and when they do catch 1 or 2 they are out in a couple of years..

Everyone and the dog knows who's involved yet the rome free..

Everyone and the dog knows the childrens hospital shouldnt be built in James All objections go unheard and cost is ridiculous.. yet goes ahead..

The so called water meter contact was given to O'brien who was one of the dearest at the time..

The list is endless...

This kip is rotten to the core with Greed and Corruption..
