    Roy Collins, a 35-year-old father of two, was shot and fatally wounded on Holy Thursday, April 9, 2009, at his place of business in Roxboro Shopping Centre, Limerick. His father, Steve Collins, had been the intended victim of the hit in revenge for giving evidence against a Limerick gang. James Dillon was convicted of the murder. In October 2022, the Collins family was contacted by the Parole Board to inform them that Dillon had applied for parole, and the family said it will object to his release at their meeting with the Board.
