Hopefully this time, ‘no more’ means no more

SHOTS in the night meant only one thing in Limerick in 2008 — another gangland hit.

Maybe it was ordered to dispose of a competitor, punish a betrayal, or warn against debt default — whatever the reason, the ordinary decent people of Limerick didn’t want to know.

They just wanted it off their doorsteps and, if not stopped, then at least confined to that parallel universe where the lawless live and die in violence and barbarity that is incomprehensible to the majority.
