Gardai were last night quizzing an ally of gangster Mr Flashy – after armed gardai moved against his gang.
Sources have confirmed that yesterday’s operation in Finglas – in which officers seized a pistol and silencer – was aimed at disrupting Flashy’s drugs gang and stopping further bloodshed in its war with a rival outfit.
Rival James Whelan (29) has already been murdered in that war and gardai have vowed to take down both gangs – to make sure nobody else dies.
