YouTube & gangland Ireland

Members of the notorious McCarthy-Dundon gang have sent out a threat to the leader of their feud rivals on YouTube. Convicted criminal John Dundon, who fled the country following a high-profile murder last year, brazenly warned his gang's sworn enemy Christy Keane: "I know where you are." Fugitive Dundon posted the threat on YouTube on Tuesday, despite the fact his gang are under the intense scrutiny of the gardai following the murder of businessman Roy Collins in April. A garda source last night said it is not clear if the video material could be used as evidence in future criminal trials against McCarthy-Dundon gang members. "That is a matter for the Director of Public Prosecutions. It is their call. It all depends on whether the DPP believes an offence has been committed," he said. On the video, Dundon poses alongside a top of the range C-class Mercedes and says: "Christy, if you're looking for me, I'm somewhere in Europe, but I know where you are." Emerging from the sunroof of the Merc, John poses holding a rifle and says: "I might come out of the roof that way." The registration plates of the dark coloured Mercedes in the internet video are covered with plastic and the vehicle comes with a full body kit and chrome pack, including alloy wheels which estimated to cost in excess of €70,000.
