Hard Dun By: Notorious Dundon-McCarthy gang split and are out for each other's blood. free image hosting. The notorious Dundon-McCarthy gang have split and are out for each other’s blood, we can reveal.
The once-close allies are now sworn enemies with members of the McCarthy faction taking hits out on former Dundon associates who they believe let them “take the fall” for murders and other crimes down the years.
Tensions between the two gangs have escalated in recent months with leading members of the McCarthys warning the Dundons – including recently freed gangster Ger – not to set foot in Limerick again.

A prison source last night revealed that members of the two criminal tribes have even been placed in different prisons amid fears of bloodshed.
The source said: “Leading members of the McCarthy gang realise that they took the fall for a lot of crimes they carried out over the years under the instructions of the Dundons.
“To say that they now hate the Dundon gang would be an understatement. There is much bad blood between the two sides.
“It is believed there is so much hatred and vengeance now that the McCarthy gang have taken out hits on all leading members of the Dundon gang both in and out of prison.

“They have told inmates in the prisons where the Dundons are that they will be rewarded if they manage to get to them and take them out.
“The McCarthys are in Limerick Prison while the Dundons are being kept away from them and are in Portlaoise, the Midlands and Wheatfield.
“The McCarthys have also let the Dundons know that if any of them set foot in Limerick again they will be killed on the spot.
“They want to reclaim Limerick, which they once ruled with an iron fist, as their stomping ground.”
Ger Dundon is the only member of the gang who is not in prison after he was released from Dublin’s Wheatfield Prison in January.
