Milltown won't be happy!

So it wasn't the new ira and that statement they put out was false? Not the drug gangs from Dublin either?

But sure trivialise the attempted murder of a man helping to coach kids while his son watched him being gunned down

You're very sensitive about this one MR. I don't think anyone is trivialising anything. More a case that you're determined to shut the door on this being a more complex case than loony republicans being loony republicans.

There's nothing more sensitive I suppose to how this was carried out, whether it's complex or not or who did it is totally irrelevant as it makes no difference whatsoever.

Trivialising it was mentioning that I won't be happy. I suppose if that floats your boat carry on.

Ones here had MI5, Dublin drug cartel and a hit taken out because he was taking bribes!

No doubt Nolan will have this on later.......

I'll not hold my breath

4 men arrested are protestants and with uvf links. So either these loyal fighters have turned Taig or  they were shooting a cop for other reasons. I'm sure the mainstream media will be all over this tomorrow.

[Saffrongael]

I just don't understand why a crime gang would shoot a high ranking cop, it's very rare

[Eire90]

isnt their a mysterious group call the firm going about.

[RedHand88]

Wait are you telling me it was themmuns all along?!

[Armagh18]

Maybe more helpful to not label them orange or green- just low lifes

The Irish News understands that some of those arrested in the last week have alleged connections to a well-organised crime group.

Jesus Christ what kind of halfwit wrote that article? A well-organised crime group? 

[LeoMc]

Does this mean we will have WOCG's in the next Line of Duty?

[Eire90]

heard on the radio ulster news they still saying its the new ira

[RedHand88]

The cross-community IRA.

[Saffrongael]

I think it's been obvious for a while, and the PSNI confirmed it last year, that these organised crime groups are now "cross community" as it's basically drug gangs

[imtommygunn]

If that crime gang were well organised the guy would be dead. Fortunately they aren't.

[Jeepers Creepers]

The cross-community IRA.

Very good!
