Ciro Di Marzio wrote: » Yep, well that would be unquestionable. But the thing is Flash gang is a sub-cell of the K’s realistically. He basically got appointed into his role due to his family connections after TB and KH got sent off the scene.
Righteouswrong wrote: » He may well have been appointed the position because of family connections but he’s done well so far, no convictions in we say 5 years of operating out of ratoath? As the previous poster said he is still a lot younger than giller. Media’s glorification of the Gucci gang brand doesn’t help but surely he is well respected if not feared.

Also, according to another poster, he appears to have been John Gilligan's prison wife. Hardly the stuff that would strike fear into the hearts of his enemies.
Ciro Di Marzio wrote: » Capper would have mauled JD, DC and AS in any type of physical altercation. In fact GW prob would too. DC couldn’t even put up a fight, chap had a colostomy bag for **** sake. That crew back years ago were nearly all little strung out, unfit wasters that were vicious with guns and knives. Again not trying to glorify Flash and co., but the boys run a tight ship in terms of a local operation in their area. GW has avoided convictions and being killed despite now nearly 5 years in his position and basically taking over the reins in Finglas from TB. There is bigger dealers and distributors in the Finglas area. But again let’s not get carried away and start making out Flash clique is a bunch of soft boys and muppets.

Ciro Di Marzio wrote: » Yeah I’m terms of murder and mayhem they certainly on a very different level than Flashy. So if that’s what we are talking about then that’s indisputable. Daly and Curran were evil psychopaths and at the time they made Finglas and particularly Rathoath area absolutely no go. They were similar to the McCarthy-Dundons in limerick in ways. The level of fear around that larger gang at the time was unbelievable. Similar to the Westies in Corduff in late 90’s/early 00’s also. Dwayne Foster was another one of them. A lowlife, junkie runt of a man. Also a murderous psychopath. They did pull off a few big robberies too on transit vans and the like. Bit of those mentioned were they not lower in ranks and intelligence then the likes of MH and others who were found to head up the whole thing later, after DC and AS among others died But correct me if I’m wrong, most of that gang in contrast to Flash led highly dysfunctional, desperate lives that no one would envy. As opposed to Flash, who at least has had no jail time, has the gangsters moll, drives expensive cars and bikes and wears designer clobber etc. If the original post stated that no one gives a **** about Flash and the kids and the days of DC, JD and AS are gone then yes...they were more sinister, dangerous and overall scummy *****. They were known to carry guns openly on the street at the time and the list of violence and hassle they inflicted on locals in the area was horrendous. So I guess I better clear that up from my original post on the topic.

They also avoid being shot or killed. They are smart enough to have a roster of youths and gofers to do the dirty work for them

JD was lock up with john & Dessie Dundon in port Laois as well as christe keane. Sos mulvey use too hang around with them and he is d 1 would had a bit of a bash with flash and co in the last year or 2
Ciro Di Marzio wrote: » Was it not the Collopys? The boys pulled guns on them and told them to **** back to Limerick, minus the money and minus the weight they were after. Think Christy Keane actually set it up to put manners on the Collopys as they were getting too big for their boots on the Island while he was locked up. He organized it through JD.

One paper incorrectly quoted that in an article a long time back shortly after LS (Liam & Sean - how creative) Active Car Sales was shut down and CAB took the cars. I would imagine it was to avoid any defamation case being taken along with the usuals “he has no involvement in crime”. Probably not a bad move considering the payout he got from Cosmos at Liffey Valley Shopping Centre for “damaging his good name! Heard Biggie didn’t leave a chicken wing for anyone else in the buffet lol
