Gardaí probe Kinahan link to gun murder

Gardaí are investigating if the Kinahan crime cartel is behind the murder of a 62-year-old man in West Dublin yesterday.

The victim, Noel ‘Duck Egg’ Kirwan, was involved in protection rackets and robberies in the ‘80s and ‘90s.

He was also involved in various anti-drug campaigns during those periods, and was considered both a “heavy” and a “charmer” by some local activists who knew him well.
