He is understood to be armed and moving from house to house.

James 'Nellie' Walsh, a high-priority target in Ireland's gangland, is reportedly in hiding within the confines of Kildare.

The Irish Independent reports that Walsh, under the highest threat level, has sought refuge in a Kildare town where he maintains ties with several criminal associates.

It is believed that Walsh is armed and continuously relocating from one residence to another to elude both his enemies and Gardaí.

He has been involved in a lethal feud with drug traffickers associated with the Clondalkin-based Kinahan cartel.
