Under-threat criminal James ‘Nellie’ Walsh has been taunting his gangland enemies by visiting pubs wearing a bulletproof vest – and revealing to customers he had been the target of a machine-gun attack weeks earlier.

Senior sources say that gardaí have been left “baffled” at Walsh’s behaviour in the small Co Wexford community where he has been based since he moved there over a month ago.
