State solicitor warns that gang warfare could easily restart in Limerick City

Gardaí need continuing resources to keep a lid on gang warfare in Limerick City, its State Solicitor has warned, fearing a return to feud violence could be easily sparked.

In an exclusive interview with the Irish Examiner ahead of his retirement, Limerick State Solicitor Michael Murray said there is no room for complacency and gardaí need to be resourced to contain potential gang violence.

“There are still five or six very dangerous figures, some who were deeply involved in the feud and who are now involved in major crime at national and international level. They have the ability to still conduct their business. They are one remove from the action and very hard to catch,” he said.
