DUNDON CAGED FOR 15 YEARS

A SENIOR member of Limerick's notorious McCarthy-Dundon gang has been jailed for 15 years for his role in a kidnap and blackmail plot and possessing a firearm in the UK.

Ger Dundon, 36, also known as Darren McClean, was described by the sentencing judge at Wood Green Crown Court as a "career criminal who played a central figure in the events that occurred during the plot to kidnap and blackmail two brothers.

"You were prepared to use the threat of extreme violence to achieve your goal - here it was to take money from the men in a cruel and vicious way," said Judge Dodd.

Gangster Dundon - whose trial took place from November 8, 2022, until January 22 this year was a close associate of notorious gangland figure Cornelius Price.

Price - who died in February after a lengthy brain illness was also charged and suspected of being a main player in the plot.

However, Price was too ill to attend the trial at the time.

Dundon was found guilty of conspiring to kidnap one of two brothers in the UK as well as conspiring to blackmail both men.

Earlier, Dundon, who has addresses in Ireland and in Cambridgeshire in the UK, was cleared of two charges of kidnap.
