Dundon threatened to kill Roy Collins’s cousin

WAYNE DUNDON, a leading figure in the McCarthy Dundon gang, was jailed for 10 years at Limerick Circuit Court in May 2005 for threatening to kill Ryan Lee, who is a first cousin of yesterday’s murder victim, Roy Collins.

Mr Lee and Mr Collins lived in the same house and were raised as brothers. Mr Lee was working as a barman in Brannigan’s bar, owned by his stepfather Stephen Collins, when a gunman walked into the crowded pub and singled him out.

Shortly before the shooting, Wayne Dundon threatened to kill Mr Lee after he refused his 14-year-old sister admission to the bar.
