[John Gilligan, top, and The Halfway House Pub, Navan Road, Dublin]

 

“An armed man, wearing a motorcycle helmet, went into the Halfway House pub on the Navan Road in Dublin yesterday afternoon and walked around looking for someone. When challenged by the barman, the gunman shouted: “Where’s Gilligan?”, before leaving on a motorbike. A short time later gardaí caught up with the motorbike on the River Road in Finglas but the driver got away following a short pursuit. However officers recovered a 9mm handgun, which was thrown from the bike, and which is now being forensically examined”

Hmm.

Attempt made on John Gilligan’s life (RTE)
