It's a bit like the later stages of Breaking Bad at this stage - can anyone claim that Walt "won", even as he managed to get his money to his family and kill Jack's crew, seeing as they'd killed his brother in law and his entire family had been ripped apart ? I just don't see any end to this in which The Monk gets a happy ending. So many of his close relatives are now dead that it seems to me a happy ending is off the table - I can't imagine the grief he must be experiencing tbh, it beggars belief just how many of his brothers and nephews he's lost at this stage.

The media have always portrayed him as a loveable rogue that was just too smart for normal society. Most of the stuff you read is bull**** in the gossip papers. Why are IRA men getting killed in all of this? Sure they don’t have any dealings with Gerry or the kinehans. They just want a united ireland.

I say that in the belief the first shooting was reported in time, if not then fair enough. I think I've said this before a few times but Gardai are mythical creatures in large areas of Dublin, also a lot of people just don't bother calling them anymore because the response time is a joke.
