Drive-By Shooting Targets Friend of Murdered Gangster in Dublin

BREAKING: A friend of murdered gangster Jason ‘Jay’ Hennessy Snr was shot at in a drive-by incident early Saturday morning in Mulhuddart, Dublin. This attack marks a dangerous escalation in the ongoing gang feud in the Blanchardstown area, raising serious concerns about public safety.

At around 3:00 AM, shots were fired at the home of Hennessy’s associate, who had reportedly received warnings of threats against him. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in this latest attack. However, another nearby property was also targeted shortly after, intensifying fears of further violence.

Authorities confirm that investigations are underway as detectives work to identify the assailants involved in the shootings. Local sources indicate that this cycle of violence is part of a long-standing feud between two rival gangs entrenched in the Dublin drug trade. “There has been an ongoing feud in Blanchardstown between two local gangs and it has been simmering for some time,” an insider revealed. “They often target each other by firing shots at properties.”

This latest incident follows the high-profile murder of Hennessy Snr, who was shot dead at Brownes Steakhouse on Christmas Eve 2023. The gunman, Tristan Sherry, was killed at the scene after a violent confrontation, while another gunman managed to flee. Earlier this year, three men were convicted of Sherry’s murder, and three others faced charges related to the violent disorder that erupted that night.

The ongoing violence has left the community on edge, with many residents expressing alarm over the increasing frequency of these targeted attacks. Local law enforcement, Gardai, have assured the public that they are committed to restoring safety and order in the area.

As the investigation progresses, authorities urge anyone with information to come forward. The situation remains tense, and more developments are anticipated as detectives continue to track down those responsible for these brazen attacks.
