Murder of Paul Kavanagh

Paul Kavanagh was an Irish criminal who was murdered in March 2015. He was a debt collector for the Kinahan Organised Crime Group run by Christy Kinahan, a father of two, and also a brother of Gerard Kavanagh and uncle of Jamie Kavanagh. He was originally from Drimnagh and was in his late 20s.

He collected money owed to the Kinahans by other drug dealers, but the Kinahans became convinced that he was keeping some of the money for himself. GardaĆ­ believe that this was the motive for his murder.
