    They would know anyone connected to that feud so I would say it is unrelated the gardai would know them boys on site.

    Was lured to an alleyway and shot 6 times, sounds serious enough but not related to "the feud".

    The Tallaght scene is a bit disconnected. Murders tend to be small-time drug dealers or possibly linked to old debts/fueds. Certainly no major links.

    If there are links it will be linked to Drimnagh-Crumlin side of this (so Kinahan) albeit hard to know in what sense.

    Clondalkin is always a possibility.

    I think this just sums up how it doesn't matter what new emergency legislation, media hyperbole saturation, mini-cabs, arrests, charges (and dodgy charges), international crime fighting squads etc are brought in. These guys just dont give a flying **** and it's a losing ( edit: lost) battle for the gardai regardless of what the outcome of the whole Kinahan/ Hutch thing is.

    No, but I'd say scopper is right it's probably small time dealers with some sort of debt or dispute. Alot of clowns running around now coked up with access to serious firearms.

    Seems a silly thing for someone to say as that info could only be insider, even if it is filtered though that's someone saying that they know.

    Could well be, but the location fits previous petty Tallaght-esque fueds for sure.

    I would say most likely you are right, but at the same time you would be amazed how fast word can travel they wouldn't necessarily have to have been involved or even know anyone involved to know that basic information. Word travels at an incredible speed.

    Sad, but very much true. When I hear about killings here I do sort of just go, I wonder if it was x or y (the local heads who are on top until...they are not).

    Yes but "other person" = new INLA on the run well known to the Guards guy no? Would have been identified straight away.

    Yes people are being murdered, peppered with bullets for stuff that years ago would only be beating with a baseball bat or at most a knife. Too much coke and paranoia. I would say individuals are afraid that if they let someone off with a bad beating, they will come back to see them with a gun!

    That would be interesting. The cops, and others, were happy enough he had left the state, possibly the island. Maybe he came back, but doubtful.

    Main difference is the amount of crims that think they are untouchable.
    They learned nothing from what happened to Gilligan's crew!
    Add to that none of them have careers, they go from joyriders to armed robbers & hitmen in their 20s.
    It's a new breed with new ideas of what they WILL do if anyone messes with them, ala Limerick.

    One of the Hutch gang, or should I say an 'erstwhile' associate of some sort, lives on a little upmarket cul de sac in Loughshinny, and the Gards have set up a police presence at the crossroads checking motorists coming in. Mad to think that such a quiet place could become the scene of some gang aggro.

    Yeah, the quiet places is where they are all springing up in.
    Best place to hide from prying eyes.

    Don't know about that. Everyone and their mother seems to know he lives there. The Gards have often had a squad car outside his house, just to needle him, I suppose. He financed the development he lives on and he drinks in pubs around the area. He was even in the Yacht bar one night chatting away about what he used to do.

    Anyway, it's definitely not that name associated with the GH thing. His name should be released later on.

    Not overly secluded. A couple of houses nearby and just off the N81.

    I think it's definitely not part of the Hutch/Kinahan feud. But that does not mean there is not a possible link to certain elements within that feud. Not trying to be cryptic, but I have to write it in the paper first.

    That's understandable!
    We can safely say it's gangland related though.
    How long will it take for us to be shocked by a shooting in Dublin again?
    Were we ever shocked? You might say.

    Be interesting to see if the other gang in the Crumlin drimnagh feud see this as an opportunity to take out a few of the fat ones gang, some heavy hitters due to be released soon aswell as their most senior henchman who's mother was attacked by the fat ones gang, I'd imagine he's hell bent on revenge

    The man murdered today was released from prison recently, and ties to Crumlin-Drimnagh feud.

    So likely someone from the Drimnagh side released after a while inside. There is overlay between the Crumlin guys and the Kinahans so the match would be incidental. They do have their own old scores to settle.

    In terms of Tallaght you get a lot of occasional post-Drimnagh/Crumling fued blowback because Tallaght is very close.

    I would suspect more old threads being addressed than it kicking off again. There has been a lot of delayed revenge in that feud, but it's not "hot".
