GARDA COMMISSIONER Fachtna Murphy says the gardaí are targetting 15 criminal gangs around the country in their fight against gang-related crime, RTÉ reports.
He said that recent murders had been carried out by a “small core of ruthless killers who are still intent on eliminating their rivals.”
There have been four gangland murders in the past month. Commissioner Murphy said specialist armed gardaí are patrolling the areas of Dublin where those murders took place.
The commissioner said that files on 12 of the gangs are currently with the DPP and gang members are under surveillance.
Minister Dermot Ahern said that the gardaí have been successful at bringing many cases to the DPP, and he hopes substantial cases will be brought before the Special Criminal Court.
The commissioner and the minister were both speaking at the graduation ceremony for 260 newly-qualified gardaí at Templemore in Co Tipperary.

Poll: Do you allow smoking in your home?
A NEW STUDY has claimed that the number of deaths caused by smoking in the home could be comparable to the number of road deaths recorded in Ireland.
According to the NUI Galway-led research, the concentration of particulate pollution in the homes of smokers (who smoke indoors) is six-times higher than the World Health Organisation’s recommendation for general outdoor air quality, 10 times the allowable level for healthy breathing in homes and up to 17 times greater than levels actually found outdoors.
Smoking at home causes greater levels of air pollutants than using solid fuels such as coal, wood, peat and gas, says Dr Marie Coggins.
Since the introduction of the smoking ban in Ireland, many people have found it easier to stop people smoking in their own homes. So, in today’s poll we ask: Do you allow smoking in your home?
