Over 200 gardaí were involved in the operation to save Gary Hanley's life which ran for 12 weeks on a 24-hour basis and cost over €1 million. They bugged the rival gangsters cars and vans and covertly watched the managers and gunmen for three months from August to November 2017. They discovered that Hanley was to be shot dead at the home he shared with his partner and infant child in Marino in Dublin and that his partner's car had been bugged. They removed two tracking devices from underneath it on 17 September 2017. Gardaí also identified and concentrated on several cars including a Seat, a Renault Laguna, a white Nissan Primastar van and a white Volkswagen Caddy.

Mr Justice Hunt said Wilson was ready, willing, able and intimately involved in the conspiracy to commit the most serious criminal offence, murder. However, he also said court was "constrained" by legislation in that the maximum sentence is ten years.
Mantis Toboggan wrote: » Surely they should have been charged with attempted murder instead of conspiracy.
the complete offence of murder requires the wrongful killing of a human being; whereas the offence of attempted murder caters for cases where the accused tries, but fails, to kill the victim. Similarly, the offences of conspiracy to murder and incitement to murder provide for cases where the accused has made an agreement to kill (conspiracy), or has sought to persuade someone else to kill (incitement).
