The Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) is conducting 14 investigations in Cork city and county, targeting drug dealers, gangs of burglars, and those involved in organised prostitution.

Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan has warned members of the Kinahan and Hutch gangs at the centre of a spate of murders in inner city Dublin they have “no hiding place” and will be tracked down for their “brutal and heinous” murders.

Charlie Flanagan was speaking just 48 hours after the latest killing in the capital linked to the ongoing gangland feud.
