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

I'd say round half of all "active" Dissidents are working as informants/touts with the Gardai or MI5 in the North. The other half end up assasinated in highly suspicious circumstances, and the killers are rarely if ever brought to justice.

The smart individuals who get involved, discover hard truths and can get out unscathed. Others aren't so lucky and many have made their beds.

If we were to follow this premiss, does the forum believe that the assuming that the Hutch faction were working with, or hired dissidents to assist in the Regency Hotel attack, that "informants/touts" in the Hutch camp or the dissident camp have been supplying information to the authorities?

Because if find it incredible that all of the arrests have been made against against members of the Hutch faction and republican dissidents. Most of the murders appear to be against the same groupings and yet almost nothing against the Kinahan group, except the confiscation of luxury motor cars and some watches.

To anyone well versed in their Dublin gang differences, is this particular feud more or less dangerous / vicious than the Rattigan / Thompson feud of the mid 2000s in Dublins 8 and 12?

The one feature which seems to be different this time is that it seems to be very much targeted shootings rather than all out street fighting, which seemed to be a feature of the Rattigan/Thompson feud. I've heard horror stories over the years about some estates around Cork St becoming no-go areas at night due to teenaged relatives of the "Big Fish" gang members openly fighting in the car parks, heard one story of some kid who was a cousin of one of the gang leaders having his dog attacked by a mob outside a shop in Crumlin, etc. In other words, the feud spilled over into the wider community and resulted in, for a few months at least, a barrage of general antisocial behaviour.

This one seemed to be more deadly, but more sparse, in that it's not so much a night after night rioting in particular roads / streets thing. Yet some on Twitter suggest that it's going to be far worse than the Rattigan/Thompson feud unless it gets nipped in the bud very soon.

Just wondering if anyone who knows more about these feuds has an opinion on this? Will we see a return to certain streets / areas of the city becoming too dangerous to enter / drive through because of the constant thread of gang violence?

the independent.ie was saying today that its gonna be car bombs next so looks like guns wont be much use in this feud now

Plenty of innocents are going to die

Sunday Worst reporting that an ex Garda detective is under investigation for supplying false passports to the Kinahan cartel. I've long suspected that the Kinahans have certain Gardai in their pockets, this might be the beginning of concrete proof of it.

Finally nobody can get that big without inside influence

I would take anything the Independent, Sun or the Sunday World etc say with a pinch of salt. Sources like " an inside gang member" or " a garda source" is a load of crap to me.
Sensationalism sells papers.

I'm confused. How has the new IRA responded to the Barr killing?

by claiming the state had a hand in his killing and are trying to draw them in to a criminal feud and denied any involvement in the regency attack and denied they supplied the weapons

Is that really their position or are they biding their time? Surely they wouldn't have much credibility left. Also, what was Barr's position in the organisation?
