Richie Culhane: 'Drogheda feud fuelled by lack of garda investment as town's population exploded'

The widely publicised gang feud in Drogheda, many will argue, started in 2018 with the attempted murder of a man on the Cement Road.

I would argue this shooting didn’t kick-start the many dangerous incidents that have stretched the Garda locally and nationally in their quest to keep a lid on this deadly feud. Some former senior officers in Drogheda failed to recognise the direction crime and drugs were taking and the correlation between drugs and crime.

After a relatively short period of time a picture would build of this network culminating in significant seizures of money, drugs and firearms and the incarceration of gang members. A multi-agency taskforce, similar to the one set up in Limerick over a decade ago to tackle the gangs, should be considered in Drogheda’s case.
