Resources will ‘dictate’ reach of anti-gangland squad says CAB leader

The impact of the new anti-gangland task force will be “dictated” by the resources made available to it, one of its leaders said yesterday.

The Special Crime Task Force was announced by Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald and Garda commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan on Tuesday with the purpose of focusing “relentlessly” on gangland activities.

The task force will come under the remit of the Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau, assisted by the Criminal Assets Bureau.
