KILLALOE, a favourite retreat for the rich and famous, is now a hot-spot for marauding criminals ‘dispersed’ from Limerick city.

Highly organised gangs are targeting luxury homes in the lakeside village.

Supt Tony Kennelly said gardaí have mounted a special operation involving patrols and checkpoints to foil the spate of burglaries.
