Limerick gang man survives attempt to kill him

A major figure connected with a feud of Limerick drugs gangs has survived a further attempt on his life, it emerged yesterday.

An attack was carried out on the home of Sean “Cowboy” Hanley when up to six shots were fired into the sitting room from a Glock semi-automatic handgun.

Mr Hanley and a number of others, including children, were not injured following the attack last week. One man has been arrested and charged with a firearms offence. The incident occurred last Tuesday but was only made pubic yesterday.
