He may not have drank, smoked or did drugs but he wasn't a non-violent person by nature either. In regards to the Kinahans, journalist Stephen Breen in 'The Cartel' (2017) has stated that the first person killed under their orders was Kieran Smyth in Dundalk (2001) who helped with transport logistics but who they thought was informing to the authorities. Fairly interesting reveal as the press pointed the finger at the Real IRA at the time AFAIK.

The Freddie Thompson book however was not great, I was hoping it would get more into the first feud he was in and read about some of his other associates such as GW and Paddy Doyle but there was another book years ago about it that was a lot better

In contrast some of the Paul Williams ones are written terribly, he re-hashes the same stories multiple times using the same phrases I.e. “leafy suburbs” to describe any posher area and “run down council estate” to describe any rough area in Ireland. Very inarticulate writer. Another good one lads was ‘Mean Streets’ by Barry Duggan on the limerick feud. I’ve been reading them all since I was a kid going back to Gangland in 98 and the one on Gilligan. Pity Williams was the main figure for so long. But Breen’s style is much better in recent years. Just a much better way of putting the info across and referencing the various sources.

Gerard Morgan's mother was alive and living in the same home as of 2015.https://www.thejournal.ie/gerard-morgan-2504011-Dec2015/ From 'Badfellas' (p.181) and newspaper reports, the story goes that Gerard's older brother Alan was involved in an AIB bank robbery in Drumcondra in Feb. 1982 with Martin Cahill and co. Proceeds of the robbert went missing and Alan was blamed. The Monk and Eamon Kelly were arrested after threatening Alan but no charges. Shots were fired at the Morgan family home in March. Gerard was shot dead two months later.

Why would he finance Gary's affairs, as Gary was well in with the international criminal cartel? If he was involved in drug financing, wouldn't the monk be worth more than the 8 million claimed by a respectable journalist, even though top 30 richest irish criminals lists the monk at 18million. So without any proof, you're saying he's a drug financier, murder and child killer. The sun is getting to you over there, and we also know who butters your bread.
26 May 1982 – Gerard Morgan Gerard Morgan (15) was shot dead as he came to the front door of his family home at 22 Lismore Road, Crumlin on 26 May 1982. It is believed that his older brother Alan Morgan (17) was the intended target. Alan had allegedly fallen out with a criminal gang over the missing proceeds of a bank robbery in Drumcondra in Feb. 1982. There had been a previous gun attack on the Morgan home on 9 March 1982 when five shots were fired. Patrick Conroy was sentenced in 1983 to seven years in jail for being an accessory to murder by providing shelter to the killer. Michael McDonnell, of 6 Dermot O’Dwyer House, Hardwicke Street, was arrested for the murder but the state dropped the charge and he was not convicted.
