Gardaí probe motives for gangland murder

Detectives are investigating if the shooting dead of a gangland criminal at the weekend is linked to a local feud or was a revenge attack for a botched double murder last August.

However, Garda sources said the deceased, Jamie Tighe Ennis, had “no shortage of enemies” and that officers were keeping on open mind on possible motives for the murder.

The 24-year-old was shot dead on Moatview Avenue, Coolock, north Dublin, at 2.25am on Saturday.
