Dublin’s north inner city community yet to hear reassurance from justice minister over Kinahan-Hutch feud

Community leaders in an area hardest hit by the Kinahan-Hutch feud say they have not received any contact from Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald or her officials — two weeks after they appealed to her to visit Dublin’s north inner city and reassure locals.

Activists in the area held a meeting on April 29 after the second feud murder in the area in 11 days and the third one since February.

On April 25, dissident republican Michael Barr was shot dead in a busy local pub. That came after the reckless murder of innocent homeless father Martin O’Rourke on April 14 outside another pub in a botched attack targeting a suspected killer in the Hutch gang.
