    Out of all the Dundon brothers, who would be classed as the biggest nutter or are they all equally as mad?

    Wayne surely

    First ever gangland shooting was Michael Crinnion in Cork in 1995

    I remember Johny Reddin getting whacked in the Blue Lion, Parnell St, around then. Might been 1996.

    Anyone know the story of when the blacks who were moving into the area back then came into the Blue Lion looking for protection money? They were told to come back later that evening and few calls were made and when the blacks came back Gerry Hutch and co. were there to meet them and lets just say by the end of the meeting getting a few bob was the least of the black lads worries. That was the beginning and the end of the blacks reign on Parnell St.

    8 murders in Dublin in 2019. Zero so far in 2020.

    42 in London for 2019

    They made the same mistake in a certain pud in Dundalk and ended up taking a wee spin out the road - not a peep afterwards lol

    No more drama than usua in around the north inner city. Dont remember any other murder in there. Dont act the bollox and you'd be alright. Long gone now. Many still drinking across the road now in Reillys/Judges. Not a bad spot. Used to ses the Monk and Eddie Hutch in there most Sundays.

    As far as i know there was a near record homicide rate of over 100 in London last year but the vast majority were knife killings. Id guess around 10 gun murders. I remember reading about it last year sometime. London is bolloxed with black and Muslim gangs knife crime.

    At least they added to the area. Could nip in for a nice meal between sessions in the local boozers. All the blacks had was hair salon joints and us white Irish had no need to get our hair platted.

    Still wrong to assume it was the monkey gang who shot him in finglas. I dunno who it was but no point assuming

    he shot at a house in finglas and the house he shot at had guns in it so they shot back and got him in the leg.. when they asked him who he was doing it for he gave a name.. i haven't seen the name on here yet so i won't be repeating what i heard

    Give it 5 yeara and we'll have our first black on black murders in Dublin. Can see it happening already. Big feud between Blanch and Tallaght simmering away. They dont seem to have got their hands on any guns as yet but plenty of violence. They dont dare mix it with local Irish/Dublin gangs. Not yet but down the line they'll be players. Like across the water.

    Was it SM?


  • Registered Users Posts: 30 seantomo


    Heres a few articles of some of the earlier hits in 90s Dublin and the Blue lion, for some reason gangland hits really took off in 96, it must of had something to do with the Provos calling a ceasefire, harldy a coincidence.

    No he was going to shoot bottles with Nidge in a forrest, was up on his Bebo.
    They all wear mandbags and gucci hats

    I think he's narrowing it down to the Gucci gang

    Ah yes I'd seen that.
    Wasn't there a rumour that was a bit of a set-up and the shooter knew they were coming?

    i know what your getting at but i dont think this one was expected to arrive. it just so happened these people had guns in the house at the time it was shot at

    According to the guardian

    Killings linked to gang violence have more than doubled in the last five years, from 17 in 2014 to 44 in 2018 and 42 in 2019.

    Why did all this gangster activity start in around 1996, that seems to be the start of it from what I can make out and it's just snowballed from there.

    What are the key factors, maybe political, maybe economic. I don't know.

    Paul William's book Badfellas provides a pretty good analysis on how the crime scene changed over time in Ireland.
