A trusted henchman is sent to witness the money being counted out. The money is then placed into vacuum bags and an identifiable note or mark is placed inside the bag. The packaged money is followed by the henchmen to its destination. Such a large amount would need to be delivered to someone high up. That person needs a quick transaction confident the package is what was promised. A verified and tightly bundled package is a lot handier than counting out notes in the back of an X5 at the back of Supervalue in Kells.

Still interesting though why they do this, Surely each papers investigation team would be a little dubious about the other papers sources etc? Is this because they're all part of the same INM Denis O Brien group?

Why do you have so much trust in your sources? Or does it matter, because no matter what information is given its dressed up as dramatically as possible to sell copies? If I was getting info from Joe, but my mate, whom I know and works in the same industry as me was getting information from Billy and our info didn't match up, I'd be asking questions. People need to start looking at the quality of the "sources" they use.

They do the crime and then rat so they don't do the time. few or if any supergrasses aren't neck deep in the crime they are snitching on and probably have been caught on so there is no greater good at play witnesses on the other hand should be lauded...there is a huge difference.
