A date has been set for the inquest of murder crime boss Eamon ‘The Don’ Dunne.
Dublin Coroner’s Court today heard that that the investigation into Dunne’s death remains open but gardaí are in a position to go ahead with the inquest.
Dunne was gunned down while at a birthday party at the Fassaugh House Pub in Cabra on April 23, 2010.
Two men entered the pub and singled Dunne out before shooting him several times in the head.
Dunne was a major crime figure having taken over the Finglas-based drugs operation previously led by Martin ‘Marlo’ Hyland.
He is suspected of ordering more than a dozen gangland killings.
At the time of his death, Dunne was on bail and due to face trial on a charge of conspiring to rob €1 million from a transit van outside a Tesco in Celbridge, Kildare in November 2007.
The inquest has been set for a full hearing on October 15.
