Gangland Shootings part 4 - Read OP before posting - updated 30/12/23

I'm catching up on Nicola Tallant on the Late Late. I mean I absolutely agree that it was the right decision for Gerry to be acquitted this week but my god she is up Gerry Hutch's hole. Definitely some bias there though, she's awful fond of him.

Are we allowed to speculate who the three men dressed as Gardai were? Iv heard MB (deceased) mentioned, JG and who do we think the third was....someone else local or a random gun for hire/ Eastern European/IRA man?

Dowdall accused Mago Gately and Hutch of being 2 of the 3 'TACs'. That's a matter of public record from the trial so can't see why it couldn't be posted here. If you go back on this thread (and predecessors) - who the 3 'TACs' are is raised in allegations posted multiple times by multiple posters often in 2019/ 2020. There is a fair degree of consistency over TAC 1 and TAC 2; TAC 3 is more uncertain. Some allege a long term Hutch family associate, not a family member, who is serving a long prison sentence for armed robbery was TAC 3-but they have been reported in the media as denying that.

MB? Was it not NCH and JG with KM the likely third, even though he has denied it and is now locked up for a Clonskeagh job

She only fond of if she makes money from a story.

Ryan before the break said she talked to Gerry after the verdict so to get people watching.

Then in interview she says that in the building they (her and Gerry) were shooting the breeze when she asked when she asked if he was going up north or Spain. He smiled at her for asking such a cheeky question and said he was going out the front door.

Do you really believe this happened.?

She was shooting the breeze with Gerry that most of the time she calls the Monk and false information.

He is hardly going to go Boards or twitter and she Is lying.

He was said to be very well liked in the inner city in final years of his life. Historic criminal record outlined earlier. He was also imprisoned for breaching barring order against Jane/ Jenny Hutch also now dead. No clue re rape allegations.

know nothing about a rape. Lots of people break barring orders and aren’t rapists. Don’t know circumstances in 80s of him being imprisoned for breaking barring order. Have looked on thread for past allegations re rape- can’t find them. Did see this by someone else in 2020- ‘ Williams portrays Eddie as heavily involved in armed robberies in Gerry’s early days in the 80s.’

Someone also claims Eddie was the Hutch member beaten up by Mel Cox. Yet another poster claimed that the murderer of Mel Cox was a now deceased male member of Hutch family. There is more than one male family member who was alive at time of Cox murder who is now dead.

A detective in Waterford topped himself few years ago when he was involved in some swinging group where some woman died and he helped clean up and move her car..

Do you think a seriously depressed individual with suicidal ideation is capable of having rational thoughts or emotions that someone in their right mind would ? Of course, the aftermath of any death by suicide is messy for those left to deal with that mess, primarily trying to figure out the reasons why it has happened. It's unfair to criticise those who decide to take their own lives by branding them as selfish.

Breda Power in today’s Sunday Times; on Patsy Hutch-

It is unlikely you would find two garda squad cars on the entire length of O’Connell Street, where drugs imported by criminal gangs are openly sold and used, last Tuesday afternoon. And last Wednesday, as gardai continue to monitor the area of a man who denies all involvement in criminal activity and hasn’t been inside a court since his teens

She looked absolutely thrilled at the door when he walked out of court.

As she and others said. If he went down, it would have been farcical. Not enough concrete evidence to convict for the crime he was charged with. Would have made a mockery of the special criminal court.

Whatever other crimes he may or may not have been responsible for, he wasn't on trial for those.

The Kinahan's claims that the Gardai were in on the regency and purposely stayed away on the day doesn't sound like the biggest conspiracy ever now. It grows more legs every day! We suspect there's at least 4 or 5 very senior officials who were in the Hutch's pocket. No journalist is going to go down that road though and look into it

I agree that its more likely that the Hutches were made aware that there would be no Gardai presence on the day rather than literally ordering the Gardai to stay away. Either way its an astonishing **** up for that information to be passed on to a crime gang. It'll all come out someday!

GUBU territory the ex GSOC investigator according to Irish Mail is tenant/ boyfriend of a Hutch family member. Chances are as investigator is in his late 60s this is one of the Monk’s sisters/ sister-in-laws. Investigator came into job from another country. When you were new to job and telling people you rented in (say) Buckingham Street or Portland Row- obviously no alarm bells went off with any of his colleagues.
