“It is expected to show that Mr. Gallagher died from gunshot wounds – he was shot at least three times in the chest and stomach during this attack, which has all the hallmarks of a gangland hit” he said.
“It would appear that he was lured to the area by people known to him; and one line of inquiry that gardai are looking at is that he was lured on the pretence of an owed drugs debt” he added.
