Gardaí probe if murder linked to criminal rows

DETECTIVES are investigating whether the murder of criminal figure Christopher McDonagh is linked to rows he recently had with other criminals.

The 27-year-old was considered a “significant independent operator”, but Garda sources said he had kept “a low profile” in the past year-and-a-half in terms of drug trafficking and gun running.

Mr McDonagh was shot up to six times by two killers at his home in Clondalkin, west Dublin, just before midnight on Tuesday.
