Two men held after ‘revenge’ murder

A WELL-KNOWN member of the McCarthy-Dundon gang was one of two men arrested after the murder in Limerick yesterday of a respected businessman.

He fled Limerick after the murder of rugby fan Shane Geoghegan last November and returned to the city recently.

Roy Collins, son of a leading Limerick publican, Stephen Collins, is suspected of being targeted in a revenge killing, because a cousin of his, Ryan Lee, gave evidence at a trial after being shot in one of the family’s pubs five years ago while working as a barman.
