David Amoruso over on Gangster's inc just posted this article.

What especially struck me was this quote:

Hell of a way to live life. The question is who and why? Someone he's wronged? Rival criminals? IRA? What do you guys think? I know we have some folks around here pretty well versed in the Irish underworld. By the sounds of the would-be assassin, it seems as though this may not have been a professional hit, however. Which doesn't necessarily mean that professionals may not have directed someone with a personal vendetta to Gilligan.

One of Martin Cahill's underlings John Gilligan is just another bum, no doubt abe will portray him as some kind of superman but the reality is this...


"The Spanish based criminal regards Gilligan as ‘a weak link,’ attracting police attention to their bids to set up profitable drug deals".

Nothing but a typical bum, the IRA have far bigger fish to fry this guy wouldn't have been on their radar though no doubt abe already has a nickname for this bum along the lines of 'the silver haired surfer' or yet another "Mr Big lol"

Cahill has been dead for over a decade, though, so whose stepped into those shoes?

From what I've read there are dozens and dozens of criminal groups in Dublin alone. The Real IRA have their fingers in about every criminal pie: drugs, weapons, fraud, extortion...you name it. Some major Irish gangsters also operate from abroad (Spain for instance) and are alleged to supervise some of the gangs in Ireland.

Irish and British criminal influence is extremely large in parts of Spain. Russians have quietly set up shop over there, but mostly to launder money. Irish and British gangsters on the other hand were and still are the major source of drug and weapon trafficking, prostitution and other rackets in parts of Spain. Russians have the name for being ruthless, but in my opinion those Irish and British nutters can be just as dangerous and wouldn't hesitate much about chopping up someone and feeding him to the fishes.

I know how long Cahill has been dead my cousin was riding by on his bike when 'dissident Republicans' killed him word was it was the IRA but technically it may have been some other Republican group perhaps the INLA.

Anyway, he was killed for being a traitor, an informant on the IRA and a common bum. One of my cousins actually went to school with one of his many children and had a gun pointed to his head calling for my name.

This dispute was settled like men not like the Brits who are scared of their own shadow. Brits fight like cowards look how these chavs get battered by the Irish again lol Man, abe's silence has been pitiful I have definitely found him out. West Brit propaganda is all he's got rolleyes

These are two relatives of mine sorting this issue out. Look at how the Brit bums get battered. He even gets slapped like a bitch when he could have knocked him out. Another Irishman makes mincemeat of another pathetic Brit chav Brits are cowards and nothing but bums lol
