Yes there was gangs, junkies everywhere.. but you could walk around they only dished out hidings to those that owed money etc but house break in's and robberies would of been high. I seen a armed robbery in the bookies 1 Saturday walking home from the scouts! Dont recall many gangland killings not by today's standards there be probably 2 or 3 murders a year and there be outrage at each one of them!

A witness in the case was forced to leave her home, was the subject of an assassination plot and was badly injured in an assault outside a courtroom after giving evidence in the case. The case attracted little attention and the woman was not included in the State Witness Protection scheme and received no special compensation for ordeal. She was at one stage living in B&B accommodation and was virtually penniless. In March last year Liam Byrne (21) of Raleigh Square, Dublin, received a four-year sentence for an assault on a former League of Ireland soccer player, Mr Trevor Donnelly, at the Abrakebabra take-away in the Crumlin Shopping Centre on April 23rd, 2000. Seven weeks before the assault,Byrne had received a four-year suspended sentence for armed robbery. When he was convicted of the assault, the suspended sentence was activated and he was sent to prison. The Court of Appeal yesterday ruled that the decision to run the four-year sentence for assault concurrently with the robbery sentence was too lenient. It extended his sentence by two years, giving Byrne an effective six-year sentence for assaulting Mr Donnelly. Byrne attacked Mr Donnelly with a baseball bat and struck him a number of times on the head, leaving him with permanent injuries. During his trial last December, the court heard that he had repeatedly threatened Mr Donnelly's girlfriend and mother of his two children, Ms Jennifer Doyle. Gardaí described Byrne as a particularly vicious young career criminal and a central figure in one of the largest drug-dealing gangs in south inner Dublin.

I've read a lot the main players in this feud in the media from both before and after the Regency (gives you a better understanding of what's likely accurate and what's likely media spin) and in all honesty Liam Byrne sounds like a far more frightening and dangerous guy than Daniel Kinahan does.

It all started at the attempted hit on Greg Lynch ( a Kinahan man). Mickey Devoy was apparently behind it. Mickey Devoy taken out as a result. Here's where I think people are getting confused ( Although i'm very much open to correction if I'm wrong) This was pre Gary Hutch remember, so the Hutch associates were contracted by the Kinahans to take out Mickey. Now fast forward and Bottler gets released from prison, the whole landscape has changed. Although it was the kinahans that ordered the hit on his brother, it was carried out by Hutch guys. Who he sides with is unclear, but from what I have read the guys who took out his brother felt he was a threat and decided to take him out, hence the botched attempt. Sound about right?

John Smith certainly has a lot of insider information. Other twitter accounts are suggesting John Smith is actually two close female associates of the Hutches....or could be Mago.
