And that is a growing problem.

Yes.

There's only been one fatality, which some people say is a miracle.

And that was a youngster called Kevin Kelly.

I think he was only 20 years of age.

He was driven over on purpose by a car

It was a late night incident in the Balbutcher area last June, directly connected to the feud.

His home had been attacked a few days earlier.

He would be on what would have been described as the poppentry side of things.

A number of suspects were identified fairly quickly by guards and a number of these criminals actually fled home.

Dublin for a number of months last year in the aftermath of it, while the investigation was fairly active and hot.

Most of them have actually returned back from Spain now.

So there may be progress in that particular case, but it was definitely, you know, the worst incident so far.

petrol station and attacks him I don't know was it some sort of implement or something like that I mean really really violent if you saw it you'd think that guy will be lucky to survive yeah he got a very savage beating and I think he's been left with life changing injuries including being deaf in one ear yeah he certainly required a lot of hospital treatment this happened nearly two years ago and it's considered it happened in a service station in the Santry area

and it's considered one of the first major incidents of this feud.

The court case last week involved a guy who was 17 at the time of the offence.

He was given a hefty enough jail sentence, but he was a lookout at the door while his associates were involved in basically giving the victim a terrible hammering.

I think it's significant as well in that particular case the victim did not make a complaint to Gardaí or did not give a victim impact statement and as you rightly say and it was actually said in court as well that was filmed the attack and it went all around social media and it certainly helped inflame the situation it definitely made it worse.

Yes, so this traveller feud, it involves kind of three extended families and it kind of kicked off a bit before Christmas after an assault incident.

Yeah.
