THE SCUM INN

Mucky Duck boozer is Ireland's most lawless pub

This is gang boss Brian Collopy doubling as a barman in Ireland's most lawless pub.

Top gardai claim that the Keane/Collopy crime family have effectively taken over the running of The Mucky Duck pub (right) - turning it into a den of anarchy.

The pub has seen "a total breakdown of law", as feuding Limerick mobsters pull themselves pints and drink late into the night with no staff present.

Last month, Collopy (37) was fined €250 after he was caught pulling pints in the bar at seven o'clock in the morning. The Mucky Duck's reputation is so bad that locals now dub it: "The Scum Inn."

It has also been the scene of several assaults, including a vicious attack in which a man had his throat slit.
