    Killester and Clontarf are in two completely different leagues.

    It's like saying Swords and Malahide are the same area. As if.

    What made him gain the title of Ireland's most notorious criminal?
    He was a pioneer of drug smuggling, introduced tiger kidnapping, and inspirational gang boss/organisor, so he would be one of the most notorious as he was big player in getting the whole thing going!

    They arrested a guy burning out the car too

    He was inventive when it came to obtaining money, the IRA hired him for fundraising. Kidnapping, banks etc.

    I'd have thought that Fat Freddie was among the worst. Alleged involvement in about a dozen murders in that ongoing feud. Ya know, point being there are more notorious drug lords out there who have never been caught red handed for murders(yet).
    Yeah but Kelly was there long before and made it all possible for the younger guys...same way the Beatles paved the way in music

    well its interesting all the same the evolution of various ira members going on to join criminal gangs. wolfe tone presumably spinning in his grave or on a permanent spin.
    they all get so far from republican principles that human life is irrelevant.
    Other way round..he was hired by the IRA for being a kidnapper

    They tried to shoot this guy at his house before and the gun jammed.I think he should have move somewhere else at that point because if you give these guys enough chances,they will get lucky eventually.That area is Killester,don't care what An Post says.

    Why can't the hoods take better care of thier guns - this seems to happen more often than the old SA-80.

    They want flashy looking automatics because they watch too much TV.A revolver won't let you down by jamming.So what if they are not very "fashionable":D

    +1 Simplicity is key! I presume much of this work is done at point blank so who the hell needs 13 rounds in an automatic hand gun FFS.

    EDIT And a car! Jesus I thought it was a bike all the way for this stuff.

    Should have been clean away because that area,if you are familiar with it is like a rabbit warren.There are loads of routes out.The Gardai were either very quick or very lucky to catch anyone.(I suspect the latter)

    Anyone else asking themselves just quiet how thick these 'crimebosses' really are when they go wandering around the place even though they know full well that they are targets and in this guys case there was a previous attempt to kill him in the exact same spot two years ago!
