Indo is reporting David Byrne is the man who died

Yeah I just read that too. Seems to be the three of them tho and not a Kinahan.

'The headlining boxer, Jamie Kavanagh, is managed by a member of one of Ireland's most powerful crime families, the Kinahans. They are based in Marbella in Spain, but frequently attend boxing events here in Ireland.

Kavanagh's father and uncle were both shot dead in the recent past for allegedly double-crossing them. I always got the feeling that sooner or later something like this would happen at a boxing related event. Most likely a rival gang avenging a previous hit on one of their own.'

It's amazing the Soap Opera culture of crime in this country. I wonder are other similar sized countries on a first name basis with all the major gangland figures. I've lived almost half my life between Dublin and London and can only think of the name of 1 active organised crime gang in London, who are coincidentally of Irish origin. We nearly know the names of the low level soldiers family pets in Dublin. It's weird.

They're saying Roe is dead and the Byrne brothers in hospital. That's just word on the street. No Kinahans shot.

Liam Rowe? David Byrne I heard. Rowe would have been with him and Liam Byrne. This is The Monk we are talking about, so whoever got killed was the one who it was decided would be killed. Different person, different message. I reckon David Byrne (not Liam Byrne), and a non-fatal to Dan Jr.

Despite all the histrionics in the tabloids of mayhem and kids screaming, this was without a shadow of a doubt the best planned hit that has happened here in a long, long time. Headshot to the lesser Byrne (or maybe Rowe), and a leg wound to Dan Jr. is my bet. Calculated, but not all out war. In its own way, it's an olive branch.

I've met him and have heard enough tales. He really is a clever fúcker. If he had been born in the leafy suburbs he would be the CEO of a Fortune 500. He made his money the hard way.

Shocking video.

This should put paid to the barstoolers who promote the idea of gangland figures taking each other out.
This shows the collateral damage of possible innocent victims an traumatised bystanders.
That poor kid and many others won't sleep well for a long time.

These guys are slippery as hell. I wouldn't be surprised if Jamie felt he needed to stay in their ranks to avoid being topped himself.

Nah, I would guess that most of the guys might be "good republicans".

I thought it was the Garda job to protect us against this sort of incidents, but then you don't give a **** about that ,it's just another bizarre reason for a go against Sinn Fein , whatever your into I suppose.

You might have a different opinion yourself if you happened to be an innocent bystander or employee or whatever in the hotel when all this was kicking off. All very well and good to say let them take each other out but when these turf wars or whatever break into very public gatherings like this with kids and everyone around.. question does have to asked.. what did the Guards know, where where they I am sure a presence of some sort would have put of this hit.

Many innocent people died as a result of the activities of these criminals and low-lives. I doubt too many care when they're killing each other though.
The Garda can't obviously be everywhere just like they weren't there when wee Campbell the plumber was shot in some druggies house.

The Campbell case was just so sad - wrong place at the wrong time. Terrible for his family.

Your post comes across in a really bad way, it's almost as if you admire those criminals who did this

I am not having a go at you but I hated that term being used for that young lad. He was out trying to learn a trade and make a living. It was the animals who killed him in cold blood who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was exactly where he should have been.

Tragic case.

Anthony Campbell (20), from Smithfield, central Dublin, was killed by a single bullet fired at close range from a semi-automatic handgun.
An inquest into his death heard the young man had both arms raised above his head in a defensive posture when the bullet passed through his left arm before entering his head, killing him almost immediately.
His distraught mother Christine, who sat through the chilling evidence at the Dublin County Coroner's Court yesterday, said afterwards: "I'm just devastated. I can't even put it into words."
The apprentice plumber had the misfortune to be working in the house in Scribblestown Park in Finglas, Dublin, on the morning of December 12, 2006, when gunmen arrived to kill the notorious Martin 'Marlo' Hyland.
Mr Campbell and his boss, plumber David Murphy, had been due to carry out a quick repair job on the house owned by Hyland's niece, Elaine, the previous night. However, they were too tired after a busy day's work and moved the job to the following morning.

One of them did 2 documentaries on Kinnehan and the lifestyle he leads in the costa del sol and other countries. They went to various properties he owns that have been repossessed, they showed all the bars and businesses he's involved in and they did profiles on all his known associates. They even went to the prison he was in until recently in the Netherlands (I think).

They finished off detailing his business plans for the future to build luxury resorts in places like Brazil.

do you know the name of the documenteries?? id love to see them

I think the original was part of the Costa deal crime series, the second one was only aired a few weeks ago as a follow up and it focuses solely on Kinahan.
