GARDAÍ CARRIED OUT searches across a suburb of Limerick city in recent days as fears mount that the Dundon Organised Crime Group are back operating.The operation was focused on houses in the Prospect area of the city at houses in Hyde Road and Lenihan Avenue – the Prospect and Ballinacurra Weston area were previously associated with the Dundon gang and their associates.
Huge amounts of garda resources were sent to the city after the deaths of innocent men Roy Collins and Shane Geoghegan. They were killed by gunmen associated with the McCarthy/Dundon gang. Following the jailing of John and Wayne Dundon for murder the gang’s operations were greatly reduced. A female relative had attempted to continue the operations but this did not succeed.The gang had continued operating by engaging with criminals in other areas of the country while making connections in prison.This relationship culminated in members of the Dundon gang and other associates allegedly having involvement in the murder of well known gangland hitman Robbie Lawlor.
Sources have said that rather than use Limerick based criminals he has brought in criminals from the Tallaght area of Dublin to act as enforcers. A garda spokesperson confirmed the searches took place and also the discovery of the drug manufacturing equipment.
