• Clogherhead caravan park murder under investigation five years on Murder · Co. Louth

  Keith Branigan, a 29-year-old man from Drogheda, was fatally shot at Ashling Holiday Park in Clogherhead, County Louth, on 27 August 2019 while working on decking at a mobile home. The shooting is believed to be linked to a feud between rival gangs in Drogheda, with Branigan targeted by associates of paralysed mob boss Owen Maguire because of his friendship with the leader of a rival gang. Four people were arrested between June 2022 and February 2023, all released without charge with files prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions. The inquest was opened at Ardee District Court in October 2022 and adjourned pending the criminal investigation. Investigations into the murder are ongoing five years after the shooting.
