Locals fear being ‘shot on way to the shops’

Community workers in an area hit by three feud murders have called on Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald to visit the locality and reassure people who fear being “shot on their way to the shops”.

Activists in Dublin’s north inner city said there should have been “an immediate response” by the Government to the shootings but said that no one has even bothered to ring them.

Three people have been shot dead in 11 weeks in the area by the Kinahan crime cartel, which is feuding with the rival Hutch gang.
