Gangs continue to cast cloud over Shannonside - National News, Frontpage - Independent.ie: "DEATH threats following a shocking TV programme, balaclavas and a replica gun found at the scene of fatal accidents and one of the country's most dangerous criminals back in town.
While conversation across the rest of the country concerns the crippling Budget, water shortages and freezing snow, in Limerick, it is the activities of the city's criminals which dominate.
In recent years, there has been a major push to spin positive about life on Shannonside -- particularly by Laura Ryan in the city's co-ordination office -- but the dark and sinister side of Limerick refuses to disappear.
While the problems of Limerick's criminal gangs has been well-documented, on Monday night a 'Prime Time Investigates' programme brought the stark reality of life in the country's most deprived estates into sitting rooms: youths brandishing a sawn-off shotgun; criminals comparing prison to a holiday camp; and tearful families held prisoner in their own homes as gangs run riot outside."
