Net closing in on dissident murder suspects

It’s been four months since dissident republic leader Aidan O’Driscoll was brutally gunned down on a street in Cork. But painstaking detective work has led to the arrests of six people, and more arrests are expected, reports Eoin English

THE net is closing on those involved in the murder of former dissident republican leader Aidan O’Driscoll, who was gunned down on the streets of Cork just over four months ago.

Gardaí are preparing files for the DPP following the arrest, questioning and release without charge of six people — the first arrests by the garda team investigating the murder of the former chief of staff of the Real IRA in Blackpool on December 7 last.
