These guys flout the law. Makes fools of the rest of us and then expect to be given new safe houses and 24 hours garda protection? I think not.

Because it would seem one gang are being allowed wipe out another with impunity, with innocent people getting caught up in it.

My point is that the reality of all this madness thats going on includes the targeting members of a particular family some of which are from Champions Avenue. The latest murder is a stones throw from there. Given that, where were the ERU ? More to the point, last time it was a bystander in broad daylight. You would think that was enough to wake up the Commissioner. But no, another murder in broad daylight.

Hopefully the guards can get some DNA evidence from the car and CCTV in the area might have caught footage of the the guy's face.

Top secret stuff. que the human rights activists banging down my door on this one.

Everyone knows who lives in Champions Avenue which is about a 100 yards from where this incident took place. The Garda Commisioner should be considering her position at this stage. Another shooting in broad daylight. NY style police forcing required at this stage. Only one man needs to be hauled in and told to put a a stop to it immediately.

Seems like they planned a spectacular that failed miserably, they may have another one of them up their sleeve but i seriously doubt that I would say the regency was either make or break
