McDowell denies complacency over gangland crime

Minister for Justice Michael McDowell tonight denied he was complacent over gangland crime following the death of a Dublin drug dealer shot in his front garden.

The Labour Party earlier called for a high-powered Veronica Guerin-style clampdown to tackle spiralling crime after Dublin drug dealer Mark Glennon, 32, was shot four times outside his Blanchardstown home yesterday.
