RTECaolan Smyth was handed a 20 year sentence for his role in the shooting of James Gately, which occurred on May 10, 2017. Gately was shot five times at a petrol station near Dublin Airport. Gately survived the shooting thanks to a bulletproof vest he was wearing, which absorbed four of the five bullets. The other bullet hit Gately in the jaw.
Smyth, a former All-Ireland youth boxing champion, is alleged to be an associate of the Kinahan Organised Crime Group (KOCG); a $1 billion narcotics trafficking operation. Gately is reportedly a member of the Hutch Gang. The Hutch-Kinahan feud has raged since the killing of Gary Hutch in 2015. Since then at least 18 people have been killed, including David Byrne (a suspected top Kinahan lieutenant) who was gunned down during a boxing weigh-in show at 2016.
