A major garda investigation has now begun after convicted drug dealer Gary Carey, 40, was shot in the underground carpark of the Hilton Hotel off the South ...

It is believed the gang planned to try and kill Carey in the underground car park, where it would not have been easy for him to escape the gunman. He was hit twice in the attack and rushed to hospital, where he eventually recovered. Sources say Carey had fled Ireland after the last attempt on his life in November due to being in fear for his life – and to recover from his injuries. However, it is believed the gang learned that Carey was back in the country and targeted him in what has been described as a well-organised hit yesterday. The gang is considered to be one of the biggest in the country, second only to the Kinahan cartel. This is the third attempt on his life in just over a year – with the Ballyfermot native previously surviving a shooting in March and November of last year.

The individual who was shot is in bad shape, he lost a lot of blood. But last night he was critically ill in hospital after losing a huge amount of blood. Gardai and emergency services arrived within minutes but the Irish Mirror can reveal that cops did not initially recognise Carey, as he was bald until he recently got a hair transplant in Turkey.

In the latest attempt on his life, Carey was understood to have been shot five times in the body as he sat in his car in the car park of the Hilton Hotel in Kilmainham, south Dublin, at around 11.30am yesterday. One source said: “Carey has a lot of enemies across the capital and it’s no surprise that he has been targeted again. We can also reveal he had been spotted yesterday at flats in Kilmainham and had been using the gym regularly in recent days. The most recent attempt on his life had been last November when he was shot in Ballyfermot. The shooting victim, whose brother Darren Carey was one of the notorious Grand Canal murder victims from 1999, lost a lot of blood and was brought to St James’ Hospital for treatment, where he remains in a serious condition. Gardai are also looking into possibility that he was chased into the car park by a gunman before being found in his car.
