The head of the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau reported a significant decline in gang violence, attributing this to organized crime gangs recognizing that violent feuds hinder their business operations. Currently, Ireland has 22 top-tier gangs in operation. Remarkably, there have been no gangland gun murders in the current year. This reflects a strategic change among gangs in response to their business interests, signaling that while violence has decreased, the threat from organized crime persists.
Detective Chief Superintendent Séamus Boland indicated that with 22 top-tier gangs still operational in Ireland, the absence of gangland gun murders this year signifies a strategic shift in organized crime behavior.
Feuding organized crime gangs recognize that engaging in violence against one another is detrimental to their business operations, leading to a notable decrease in gang violence.
