A BLACK BMW X5 waited for Ger Dundon outside Wheatfield Prison last Saturday as the notorious criminal was released from jail over 24 hours early due to security concerns.
26-year-old Ger Dundon, was granted early release with remission after he was jailed for five years for violent disorder in February 2011. The incident related to his gang’s attempt to extort €20,000 for a night club promoter a year earlier.
Gardai in Limerick were on high alert as to his whereabouts as he is expected to return to Limerick. His father Kenneth (57) returned to Limerick recently after living abroad for some time.
First convicted in 1974, Kenneth had served six years in prison for stabbing to death and man that was having an affair with his wife Anne McCarthy. She has since died.
Three of Ger’s older brothers, Wayne, John and Dessie remain in prison while younger sister Annabel is understood to be in the UK on the run from gardai over threatening to kill April Collins, the mother of Ger’s three children who turned State prosecution witness that led to the conviction of John Dundon for the urder of Shane Geoghegan.
She also gave evidence against Wayne in John in a trial where the threatened to kill her and her mother Alice during Ger’s period of imprisonment.
April Collins turned to Thomas O’Neill and they formed a relationship having one child but O’Neill, the convicted gang rapist, has since been given a total of three and half years in prison over a petty mugging in Limerick.
