Wayne Dundon
For the first time in 15 years Limerick has not seen one murder in a 12-month period.

It has been the least violent year in terms of murders in the history of the troubled city since 2000.

A large part of the reason given for the dramatic fall in the number of killings has been attributed to the destruction of the deadly gang led by Wayne Dundon.

The evil mobster created a climate of fear and terror for much of the last decade when as many as six people were murdered in any one 12-month period.

Many fell victim to Dundon or his associates as they waged a vicious turf war with their Keane-Collopy rivals.

With most of his gang banged up in the wake of the vicious murders of innocent Shane Geoghegan and Roy Collins in the city, and pressure brought to bear on the Keane-Collopys, peace has returned to what was once branded Stab City.

In 2012 and 2013, there were only two murders in the city and neither of them was gang-related.
