Armed unit protect father on bread round

DANIEL TREACY’S father, Phil, who owns the family bread business, is protected by armed gardaí when he goes on his bread rounds since the Kieran Keane trial in which another of his sons, Owen, was the key state witness.

Owen Treacy who survived 17 stab wounds when he was abducted with Kieran Keane, gave evidence which led to the conviction of five members of the McCarthy Dundon gang for the murder of Kieran Keane in January 2003.

Following the murder of businessman, Roy Collins last April, Phil Treacy gave his only interview to the Irish Examiner in which he said he would not be stopped from working in his business by the McCarthy Dundons.
