James 'Mago' Gately tied to three murders in CAB battle over Coolock home

Top tier target for the Kinahan cartel James ‘Mago’ Gately has been described in court as a “prominent member of the Hutch Organised Crime gang who is linked to three murders”.

The second was in May 2017 when Kinahan-linked gunman Caolan Smyth shot Gately five times at a petrol station in Dublin but failed to kill him. Eamonn ‘The Don’ Dunne was murdered on April 23, 2010 as he attended a friend’s birthday party at a pub Dublin’s Cabra when a hit team of four men arrived in a car. Two masked men entered the pub and shot Dunne several times in the head and body before escaping in a car. To date no-one has been convicted of his murder.

However, the legitimate income did not support an “extravagant lifestyle” that saw the couple take expensive cruises - despite Gately not working. However, there was no evidence from those who Gately claimed helped with the renovations and extension build, counsel for the CAB said. The court heard Gately, who used to work as a barber and in a sweet shop on Buckingham Street in Dublin 1, has not worked since 2015 as “there were credible threats on his life,” and has not applied for social welfare.
