Some gangsters are so in fear of the RIRA rackets gang they have set up a comical-sounding grouping known as the Criminal Action Force (CAF).

The group even posed for a publicity shot -- but gardai say that, despite the comical nature of the group's bleatings, the situation is serious.



The three men are being questioned in Clondalkin, Shankill and Blackrock Garda stations and are detained under Section 30 of the Offences against the State Act. The gang is being run by two criminal brothers and has been linked to murders, attempted assassinations and a €400,000 extortion racket.

The Real IRA gang's main aim is to control pub security in the capital and beyond and extort money from Dublin's leading crime figures. In response, a number of criminal gangs have joined forces to form a so-called 'Criminal Action Force' and have threatened to kill the brothers and anyone aligned to them.

The group recently released a photo of masked and armed members.

"We want to state categorically that we will execute any criminals, big or small, who act as collaborators with this gang," they said in a statement.

"We are a big group and we have lots of guns and men."


Well the Criminal Action Force did what they said in their first statement, executed criminal collaborators with Real IRA then executed Real IRA leader Alan Ryan himself.

comical nature of the group's bleatings, the situation is serious. ?

Sure was serious so much so that yous missed the boat on this story.
