Second gang murder in Dublin sparks fears

Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald has warned further gangland deaths are likely following the second murder on the streets of Dublin in four days last night.

The killing of a well-known criminal yesterday was an act of retaliation for last Friday’s murder of David Byrne, gardaí said.

Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald is to hold an emergency meeting with Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan today on foot of the murders.
