There are rumours that the old anti drug IRA lads are looking to take Lurgan back. This will make a great TV show in a few years.

"He had been staying at the Shaws road address where he was brutally murdered as part of his bail conditions."

bail conditions seem a bit harsh

Not quite. Might have been something to do with counterfeit cigarettes.

You really do have to question how someone suspected of murder is able to be released on bail, breach that bail and then continue to be on bail. Especially when there was a known threat against said murder suspect.

To be fair, a character like this being 'taken out' doesn't really phase the police.

The local community will be happy with that

Interesting talkback on Radio Ulster today detailing how the sons and grandsons of IRA men are now in the same organisation as ex LVF men in the Portadown/Lurgan area. At least if Alison Morris has it right that is.

That's correct
