Gang boss “Mr Flashy” acts like he doesn’t have a care in the world – as he appears to go jet skiing just days after surviving an attempt on his life.
Gardai remain on high alert for further violence after the attempt on the Finglas mobster just last week. But the young thug posted a video of himself on a jet ski over the weekend.
The clip on his personal social media page, shows the mobster – who cannot be named for legal reasons – continuing to enjoy the high life. But sources say this could be an attempt to simply taunt the mob that tried to take his life – and the clip itself could even be old.

The gangster is lucky to be alive after thugs believed to be linked to slain James Whelan fired several shots at him as he sat in a taxi on the Tolka Valley Road in Finglas last Monday.
The gangster, who is nicknamed Mr Flashy because of his love of flashing his wealth, escaped by running through a nearby green area. His ally – who is being blamed for killing Whelan in Finglas on April 3 – also fled.
The daring hit comes amid a spiralling feud between young up-and-coming thugs and Mr Flashy’s mob. Over 80 attacks have taken place so far including a number of beatings, shootings, a grenade attack and the murder of Whelan.
More attacks are planned, with innocent people targeted on both sides.
