A court case in which an Egyptian was jailed for three years at Limerick Circuit Court last Friday has uncovered a new and sinister chapter in the notorious Limerick feud, with one gang forging links to a deadly Middle Eastern oufit.

It began when a plot by the notorious McCarthy-Dundon gang to murder a member of the rival Keane-Collopy gang on June 14 last was foiled through exhaustive work by gardaí.
