The IRA?Im almost certain he was killed by the INLA.Could someone clarify this?And im sure he was killed for drug dealing,not for invovlement with loyalists Dermo69
There is a problem with this article, as it relies almost completely on the publications of a tabloid journalist from a tabloid newspaper. Paul Williams is not a credible source. His books are not referenced and are written as bestsellers. I know for a fact that his first book is full of some of the most basic inaccuracies concerning the subject and his life. The new theory outlined by User:Kingstowngalway is interesting, but I cannot help thinking that Williams has concocted this in an effort to make a few bob.-- Damac 10:26, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Where is the evidence to support this, The IRA claimed they killed Cahill in response to his alleged involvement with a loyalist paramilitary group, there were rumours at the time that the IRA killed him, but I don't recall the IRA ever issuing a statement admiting that they had done it.--

The IRA did in fact claim responsibility, as per the following

My header says it all. But that quote says nothing. I'm sure some protocol's being broken here. "Que sera, sera" ??? First off, it's obvious Cahill's quoting another source and secondly there is no context being given. Shoot, if someone ever writes an article on me they can "quote" me as saying, "I think therefore I am" and "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" as well as "Here comes the sun."

Yeah I would fully agree with you on that.

Credible Source
Hi , I am a credible source as I am a relative of Martin Cahill himself.

It says he was assassinated by the IRA. Shouldn't there be at least a question mark? -- UKoch ( talk) 00:14, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

WP:NOTEVERYTHING says Information should not be included in this encyclopedia solely because it is true or useful. A Wikipedia article should not be a complete exposition of all possible details, but a summary of accepted knowledge regarding its subject.
That Martin Cahill was shot while driving to a local
Xtra-vision to return a borrowed copy of
Alien 3
is not a summary, but an inclusion of all possible information no matter how trivial. The average reader is not interested in which shop he was travelling to nor which video tape he was returning.

Does the article need to say Martin Cahill was "shot while driving to a local Xtra-vision to return a borrowed copy of Alien 3"? FDW777 ( talk) 22:12, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
