Gardaí probe if south Dublin gang was behind gun attack on drug dealer

Gardaí are investigating if the attempted murder last Sunday of a leading drug figure on Dublin’s northside was carried out by a young southside gang.

Detectives have spent time in the Crumlin district to determine whether an outfit there was behind the botched killing, which saw the target surviving and three innocent women receiving gunshot injuries.

Greg Lynch, 28, and from the south inner city, was shot in the face by a masked gunman outside Hanlon’s Pub on Old Cabra Road, in the north inner-city.
