Indo: Taxi rammed during Finglas shooting

Dublin shootings: Gangland murder victim named; Mr Flashy associate survives as he’s shot in buttocks and arm

<snip>
The first shooting was reported outside a shop in Finglas at around 9pm.  It has emerged that ‘Mr Flashy’ was present when the younger associate was shot.

Both men are on bail facing serious charges linked to the bitter Finglas feud and had only signed on at the local garda station as part of their bail conditions minutes before the gun attack.

One line in the investigation is whether the gunmen had been watching the garda station knowing that the pair had to attend there yesterday.  They left in a taxi which was then rammed by another vehicle – they jumped out and ran and it was at this stage that multiple shots were fired at them.

The attempted murder is being classified as linked to the bitter Finglas feud which has seen dozens of violent incidents this year and the gun murder of James 'Whela' Whelan (29) by the ‘Mr Flashy’ gang in April.  Gardaí in Finglas are investigating that incident and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

Think something simialar happened a few months ago but they were in a WAT driving along Tolka Valley Road.  I think they saw the guy and started running before the guy got too close but the WAT still got a few bullet holes if memory serves.

I picked up two of these guys after they got bail from the CCJ awhile back.  They were laughing & giggling all the way home.  Don't know if they're the same guys but I bet they're not laughing now. 

Just goes to show how easy it is to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.  And so soon before Christmas.  Hope the taxi driver is ok 




The other shooting in Clondalkin had a taxi in the driveway, looking at the news reports on RTE TV.  Wonder if the dead guy was a taxi driver or his father maybe?

There's a taxi associated with the same surname as the deceased. Licence lapsed since April '21.

I was warned not to pick up at Ratoath Drive/Abbotstown Ave years ago, for obvious reasons. Still, there are some cabbies who need the money.

I got caught a couple of times in Finglas West/South on FN jobs with girls names associated with the fare but picking up bogies....I've stopped accepting jobs in Hazelcroft,Kippure Pk......the Ratoath/Abbotstown area has been on my naughty list for years now.....nearly got caught one evening pre covid dropping a normal home in Abbotstown,Garda cars outside the now boarded up Mr Flashys gaff,searching two scrotes...who then walked down the cul de sac I'd just dropped at,luckily I was aware of the pricks as they were eying me up as the gardai let them go,I said to my passenger..I need to get out as quick as...he was well aware aswell,had the car turned and as I was driving up the road they tried to stop me...shouting abuse but the gardai were still hanging at the top of the road so I had some security....two absolute knacks,any taxi that stops for cunts like that deserve everything they get.
