Meanwhile..
The Joint Policing Committee have appealed for more Gardai in the City........ this is after a declaration two weeks ago that crime stats were down! Additional Gardai need to be deployed.
This is following on from the attemped murder of Paul Coffey (He used to be a big shot!no pun intended!). He was shot at on Michael Street on Sunday evening. He escaped uninjured.
In a NUT shell..
Coffey, In 2003 whilst on trial for the murder of Eddie Ryan in the Moose Bar in 2000 allegedly named (or I should state, the Gardai alleged) Kieran Keane (now deceased) as one of the two gunmen involved in the murder of Eddie Ryan. The other, Philip Collopy now also deceased. Ryan was shot eleven times. Coffey alleged that he was offered a deal if he turned state witness, which was emphatically denied by the Gardai at the time. Coffey also alleged he was assaulted during his detention. Coffey admitted driving the getaway car. Ryan tried to kill Christy Keane a couple of days earlier, but his gun jammed. He is the only individual to have been charged in relation to the murder (spanning over a decade).
Coffey was sentenceed to 15 years with seven suspended. The Judge took into account Coffey's Counsel's defence that he had a low IQ.......
Coffey's prison detention has been flowered with events! Mobile phones found in his possession and face slashed, he was back in court in 2008 and yet released just recently in 2010, causing a bit of controversy.
Gardai are 'keeping an open mind' . (probably shots taken by one of the McCarthy Dundon gang, like)
