Lottery winner’s son quizzed over Keane feud attack
By Jimmy Woulfe, Mid-West Correspondent for the Irish Examiner http://www.irishexaminer.com/pport/web/irishexaminer/
A SON of Eurolottery multi-millionaire Dolores McNamara was last night
being questioned by Limerick gardaí about a serious assault on the son
of Limerick crime boss Kieran Keane.
Gary McNamara, aged 26, and his partner and
child left Limerick last September after gardaí learned there was a plan
by a crime gang to abduct him. It is believed his partner was threatened
this week.
Garda sources last night said teenagers Joe Keane and his cousin,
Jonathan Cross, were assaulted yesterday by a group of men and were
taken for treatment with non-life threatening injuries to the
Mid-Western Regional Hospital.
Garda sources confirmed they were interviewing a number of people in
connection with the assault.
While they would not say who these are, it is believed one of those
arrested was Gary McNamara.
He is a cousin of ‘Noddy’ McCarthy, one of the five men jailed for life
for the murder of crime boss Kieran Keane.
Keane’s, wife, Sophie lives in Garryowen and an attempt was made to fire
bomb the family home on Thursday morning. It was the second attack on it
in the past three months.
In yesterday’s assault a number of men attacked Joe Keane and Jonathan
Cross in Garryowen. Shots were fired at Joe Keane previously when he was
on his way to a shop.
Extra armed garda units have been put in place in Limerick over
Christmas amid fears that the city feud would re-ignite.
A central figure in the feud, Liam Keane, brother of Kieran Keane, was
released from prison recently after serving a sentence for a
non-indictable offence.
Dolores McNamara has just bought a house near Killaloe for €1.7 million
and has spent €350,000 on a new house in Castleconnell for her son Gary,
who was arrested yesterday.
