    I'd have thought that Fat Freddie was among the worst. Alleged involvement in about a dozen murders in that ongoing feud. Ya know, point being there are more notorious drug lords out there who have never been caught red handed for murders(yet).

    Not accidentally either.

    I have to say I'm stunned - stunned - that those guys aren't on here telling us how upset that guy's family and friends must be, and how we shouldn't believe what the police say about him, and how he's a hero in his community, and various other horsesh!t.

    Where are you guys??


    Right here. I hung around with his son, and his daughter. Both deceased. Met himself once or twice and he was always gruff, so i've nothing to say about him either way.

    well its interesting all the same the evolution of various ira members going on to join criminal gangs. wolfe tone presumably spinning in his grave or on a permanent spin.
    they all get so far from republican principles that human life is irrelevant.

    I didnt say dont be mean, or be nice. Just saying i knew the man and used to know two of his kids. Yeah, tbh though i'm gonna edit out their names, might be an idea to do the same on your post quoting mine.

    I only remembered because tony felloni's got a rhyming name :D

    It adds that little bit of whimsy that you want in a hardened criminal

    The biggest shock is the Gardai actually caught someone for it.

    The Gardai are usually very quick to have people for these and much more crimes very quickly usually under a week or less, where have you been.. :confused:

    AGS are always clued up when its the likes of this.

    He robbed banks in the 80's which may have helped fund the elections of Worker Party politicians , some of whom are now in government.

    Two gardai chased the car, caught one and the other guy got away without burning out the car. I think that's very brave, two unarmed guards chasing down armed cold-blooded murderers.
