Ryan pal in hiding over mob kill threat By STEPHEN BREEN Published: 6 hrs ago 0
A CLOSE pal of slain terror chief Alan Ryan has been forced to live like Aido from RTE hit Love/Hate after receiving a death threat. He downgraded from a plush pad in north Co Dublin, to a dingy inner city flat after he found out that murdered godfather Eamon Kelly’s mob was gunning for him. The 29-year-old is the latest in a line of ex-Real IRA boss Ryan’s pals to receive sinister threats in recent months. He has now installed CCTV cameras and a heavily-fortified door at his new pad. A source said: “The man is well aware of the threat against him and it’s not the first time he’s been warned he was in danger. “He’s been getting a bit of stick for living like the character Aido from Love/Hate — he’s not taking any chances.” Ryan, 32, was blasted just yards from his home in Clongriffin, also north Dublin, last September.
