On 26 July 2010, a masked gunman fired several shots at three men from close range outside the Player's Lounge pub in Fairview, Dublin 3, leaving two of the three victims, Brian Masterson, Wayne Barrett and Austin Purcell, with life-long injuries including brain damage. Alan Wilson, a 42-year-old man from New Street Gardens, Dublin 8, was identified through bugged conversations during a separate investigation into the attempted murder of Gary Hanley. Wilson pleaded guilty in November 2021 to conspiracy to murder and possession of firearms, while the DPP dropped three attempted murder charges. On 15 December 2021, the Special Criminal Court sentenced him to 10 years for the firearms offence and seven-and-a-half years for the conspiracy charge, running concurrently.
