Gardaí must be applauded for restoring peace by targeting the city’s most notorious organised crime gangs (OCG), the Dundons. With the help of those closest to the gang leaders, gardaí defeated the family drugs cartel, led by brothers Wayne and John Dundon. In July 2020, in response to a surge in the sale and supply of drugs, Limerick gardaí launched 'Operation Coronation', specifically targeting the Keane/Collopy OCG. Kieran Collopy. However, in recent years there have been few if any gun-related attacks after gardaí toppled the Dundon gang.
