Yet another innocent person has been killed by the pointless feuding between gangs in Limerick. It starting to seem like the Film Gangs of New York in this country lately. Shane Geoghegan was killed in a case of mistaken identity as he tried to flee his pursuers on Sunday night in Dooradoyle, Limerick. The 28 year old was shot a number of times before dying in the corner of a back garden. according to the Limerick Leader Geoghegan was a 'well-respected member of his community and a team leader at Garryowen FC who was highly regarded by his teammates'. Shane led the team to victory in the 2007/2008 Gleeson League.
The Government has pledged to provide all resources to stamp out gangland crime in Ireland, but this is the seventh such incident where an innocent life has been claimed by these violent people since 2002. The Irish Independent today reports each victim's tragic death at http://www.independent.ie/national-news/in-the-line-of-fire-innocent-victims-of-gang-slaughter-1532771.html.
Enough...
