A notorious gangster was recovering last night after he survived a murder bid from a hitman – just months after getting out of prison.
The Irish Mirror has established the criminal was lucky to be alive after the shooting in the Tallaght area of south Dublin – in which he was targeted with a submachine gun.
A souce said last night: “They meant to kill him.” The criminal, who is from Clondalkin, was blasted as he sat talking to a woman in a car in Killinarden at 6.20pm.
