Collins family calls for internment of Limerick gang

FURTHER intimidation of the family of murdered Limerick businessman Roy Collins has led his father to call for the internment of the McCarthy-Dundon gang.

Less than two weeks after the murder of Roy Collins, 35, at the family pub/casino in Roxboro Shopping Centre, his father, Stephen, and brother, Steve, were targeted last Tuesday by gang members who made open threats that they would be next to be shot.

Mr Collins called for a march in the city to protest at the murderous activities of the city’s feuding gangs. That was supported by Mayor John Gilligan, Cllr Kevin Kiely, chairman of the city joint policing committee and Cllr Jim Long, who represents the Ballinacurra Weston area where the McCarthy Dundon gang operate.
