And if there wasn't there would be a war to see that there was
double jobbing wrote: » Just something that I either read or that I picked up somewhere, that Cork is dominated by one large, family based gang for the last 25 plus years, and that they decided to avoid the drama that heroin brings. Cork is full of junkies, but they are supplied by small time addicts doing runs from Dublin/ Limerick and by Lithuanian street dealers.

double jobbing wrote: » I always wondered what exactly this was. After all Gerry was retired and never involved in drugs to most people's satisfaction, and most of the nephews who end up in the court pages are petty criminals/ junkies. Burgling offices, sticking up a pharmacy with a bicycle seat, stealing drink from an offy, it isn't exactly Northern Bank level is it. The Regency from what I gather was a mix of Hutch family members, loyal friends of Gary Hutch and the odd dissident republican for hire. I think I read earlier a relative has a tablet selling operation going if someone can elaborate? Seems odd it would be strictly tablets, what was he at before they became so endemic a decade ago?

. Then you have PH jr and NCH who are handy from what I’ve read and won’t be signing on the dole to get by. .

Mago who’s perhaps the most ‘big time’ of them all and will defo fit in somewhere in the gangland circle. Then you have PH jr and NCH who are handy from what I’ve read and won’t be signing on the dole to get by. Would be interesting to see if anyone knows more.
