Every town has these problems........just appears a lot worse than it is in smaller areas. You'd never leave the gaff in Tallaght if half what they said was true.

Watch the shocking moment a man is beaten in an attack which is believed to be part of an escalating gang feud in Co Louth.

The video shows a man, topless and barefoot, as his attacker assaults him in broad daylight.

The victim can be heard shouting: "Will ya cop on, will ya" as he takes the punches to his face and upper body.

The video is believed to have been taken days before a shooting where an innocent man was blasted in the leg as he was loading rubble into a skip.

Local Fine Gael TD Fergus O'Dowd previously said: "There's fear in the town, there's deep concern, we need and must have more gardai."

Ironic he was wearing Boxers!

Didn't live up to the name

'Petrol bomb' thrown into home while three slept

A house was rocked by a suspected petrol bomb yesterday as a woman and two teenagers slept inside.

A fire broke out at the home in the south of Drogheda, Co Louth, at around 2.15am.

The woman and teens were woken by a smoke alarm, which may have saved their lives.

A neighbour with a fire extinguisher helped stop the blaze from spreading.

Extensive damage was caused to the property by flames and smoke, but gardaí said no injuries were reported.

They are investigating the attack as part of an increasingly violent feud between drug gangs in the town.

Local sources said the occupants of the house are not involved in criminality.

However, gardaí fear it is related to the ongoing feud, which has seen shootings, firebombings and tit-for-tat reprisals for more than a year.

In a spate of similar attacks in recent months, the homes of innocent people have been shot at or torched.

Initial signs are that the front kitchen window of the house targeted yesterday was smashed before a petrol bomb was thrown in or a flammable liquid was poured in and ignited.

There was extensive damage to the kitchen, but the intervention of the neighbour helped to stop the flames from causing further damage.

The family dog, which was asleep in the kitchen, escaped unharmed.

Gardaí have intensified their activities in the town since gang member Owen Maguire (35) was discharged from Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital at the end of April.

He had been receiving treatment there after surviving a feud-related shooting outside his home last July which left him paralysed.
