Kinahan cartel target ‘warned of risk’

Garda sources claim they repeatedly warned a man who survived a Kinahan cartel murder attempt on Wednesday to stay out of the city, but that these warnings were ignored.

James Gately narrowly escaped with his life, thanks to a bulletproof vest, after being shot at five times as he sat in his parked car at a busy service station in north Dublin.

The drive-by shooting took place in the early afternoon at a Topaz garage in Clonshaugh with gardaí saying that innocent people could easily have been injured.
