As he was well-versed in gangland mentality and he just got shot six months ago, With current paranoid state of the underworld at the moment, wtf was he doing going to his wife's business in a kinahan area. I wouldn't care if CK himself gave me a letter of safety I wouldn't have been near that place.

Anybody that looks at the Provo's over the years will find that for the vast majority they were not involved in the drugs trade and anyone that was, was expelled some with server punishment. The only connection with drugs in that article is probably that Jim cussak is on them himself as he is way out there in space with his ramblings every week, imo he is the worst of a very bad lot of crime journalists in this country.

The plane had travelled from Belgium if I recall. Mansfield was not convicted of anything in relation to it though. It was a good few years ago.

Douglas was closely associated with the IRA 'unit' in Dublin which was working for the then major heroin and cocaine supplier in the state, the 'businessman' and property speculator, Jim Mansfield. Mansfield, who died in 2014, was importing drugs through Weston Aerodrome in Lucan, which he bought through the profits of drugs money laundering and his considerable legitimate profits from successful property development.

The Garda Special Branch had for years known of the connections between Mansfield/Kinahan and the Provo smugglers, who adapted their arms importation routes seamlessly to drugs importation in the 1990s. Garda sources said that the senior IRA finance officer, Joe Cahill, one of Gerry Adams's mentors, called at Mansfield's home on the last Friday of each month to collect 'protection' money for the 'movement' - at the same time the Provos claimed to be fighting the "scourge" of drugs in inner city Dublin.
