Garda lockdown at estates after eighth gang feud murder

THE sprawling housing estates of Moyross and St Mary’s Park were under virtual garda lockdown last night following the murder earlier in the day of Noel Campion in Thomondgate.

Armed gardaí were tracking the movements of known feuding gang members amid heightened tensions following the eighth killing directly connected to the feud.

The McCarthy/Dundons control a criminal network in Moyross in the north of the city and in the Southill and Ballinacurra Weston areas in the south of the city.
