    Rattigan's finally been jailed over the Declan Gavin stabbing, which ultimately gave rise to the original Crumlin-Drimnagh (Rattigan v Thompson) feud:

    Rattigan's brother was shot shortly afterwards by Thompson's crew.

    I have to ask, what in the name of f*ck is the point of concurrent sentencing? He should have the sentence for this new conviction begin the morning after the previous one ends.

    9 years backdated to October meaning out sometime in 2026

    9 years less automatic remission

    According to RTE Rattigan was due for release this November. If his sentence today was to run concurrent, how does that work?

    He's been in jail for that particular crime for a very long time and no credit was given for time already served.

    I THINK... He finishes his drug charge this November, he will remain in custody till 2025 or 2026 as the 9 year for manslaughter starts last October.

    If it started last October he'll be out in 2024

    Does concurrent not mean it runs side by side with your current sentence & ends with it?

    Really? My maths is terrible so sorry haha

    I had it 9 years prison is 81 months after remission is removed it becomes 9 months for every year (81 months)

    81 months from October 2018 leads us to July 2025 ( that’s with remission applied)

    He will do 6.75 years of the 9 with automatic remission. So starting last october brings him up to June 2025

    it does

    It doesn’t end with it specifically. Runs alongside but if backedated to a certain date (Like Brian’s) it will by pass the remission date and keep you in custody

    I didnt say it did. the two sentences run in parallel. He will be released when both sentences have been served.

    You replied it does when responding to

    Last portion of the sentence.

    I never even read that far :) I stopped after side by side.

    Would there be much of Rattigan's gang left for him to start up again once he's released? It seems to me that most of his and Thompsons' old crews have been either killed, jailed, or else mixed up into the Kinahan-Byrne-Hutch feud in the meantime, it seems unlikely that the local gangland landscape will be anything like it was when he went inside. It always seemed to me that his gang were less organised than Thompson's back in the day to begin with, but with everything that's been happening since then I feel like he's not going to have much of a network left by the time he gets out...

    He will go back to some form of villainy for sure but he wont get far before being shot or thrown back in jail.

    I wonder what sort of repurcussions the shooting of Marco Yaqout will have if any, if it was anything to do with DK.

    Start up again

    Did he ever stop?

    Is he a suspect in any other feud-related attacks? In other words, might there be other court cases coming down the line? If they're only getting him on Gavin's murder now, you'd imagine that some of the feuding he directed would still be in the backlog of things to prosecute...
    Start up again

    Did he ever stop?

    Well considering he's in jail, I imagine he'll have to for a while...?

    quite ununsual sentence.....it's like Rattigan served 2009 (when convicted of murder) - 2013 for nothing.
    I can see him winning an appeal on the start date of the current sentence
    and being out pretty quick.

    The reasoning of the judge that he was only back dating to when Rattigan pleaded guilty is absurd...

    I can't understand that either.

    Sergeant interviewed after the case near enough said the same but said it’s what the judiciary felt was right.

    In June, 2008, he was linked to a €1 million drug seizure in Dublin. In 2013, he was convicted of directing that drug deal from his prison cell and jailed for 17 years; a sentence backdated to June 2008, when the drugs were found.

    His stronghold was basin lane flats complex in D8, he had a lot of loyal little and much younger gurriers in there. I knew of three of them when I lived there ten or so years ago.

    One was burned and found buried in Kildare.
    The second who took a famous case against the guards and lost is a hopeless heroin addict
    The third was a notoriously violent inmate who is now clean and has left that world behind him.

    Of course he will win an appeal. He won the previous murder cases so Im sure he didn't just plead guilty to manslaughter for no reason all of a sudden! These lads know the law inside out! I think he's locked up since 2001/2002 and has served time on being convicted of the murder over Declan Gavin I'd say a good few years (the main reason he's still locked up) even doe the Judge did not take this into account I think by Law he has too.. Sure then he served time for nothing..

    This country is so Fcuked up who knows sure Fat freddies son will only do 2 years for the manslaughter of that young lad in oliver bond.. which is absolutely shocking.. Crime does pay in this country..

    He was also serving time for drugs offences so i cant see the issue with his manslaughter sentence starting at the time he plead guilty.

    Paper said he's being in custody since 2003 and got convicted of the drugs charge in 2013 so thats 10 years served on the murder charge, which cant be just ignored. But who knows I feel its just headlines grabbing as these lads appeal and win and get out and it goes unnoticed..
