    He'll be about fifty if he does the full 22, wonder how his son will get on now with daddy out of the picture, especially the fact people are out for his blood.

    Sorry yeah he will be nearly sixty, still old enough to do damage I suppose, but I doubt there will be very much "gangland" in twenty years time.

    Brian Meehan must be nearly 20 years inside now, and theres no talk of him being released anytime soon.

    Can life actually mean life is this country?

    Looks like John Smith has also revealed who they are. Puppy Lovin was right the whole time.

    I wouldn't be feeling one bit sorry for him if he was, but could daddy still order retaliation from behind bars? Or will he just fade away and become a nobody?

    two englishmen were jailed for life for the torture and murder of two women in 1978. One of them died 5 or 6 years ago in prison. the other is still inside.

    Freddie was just being used by Daniel kinahan,he is disposable like the rest of them.Daniel will wash his hands of him and Freddie ,now being lcoked up for life, will just fade away.Dont be surprised if and when the cartel crumbles will we see Freddie attacked in jail from his many enemies.The hutches will be gunning for him.Barry Doyle is out for freddies blood after he put bullets in his brother.All the old drimnagh gang will have a target on freddies head too.

    Not sure if true but I heard that going back over thirty years the killers Shaw and Evans were brought into the Governors office and were told they would never be released. One has died and the other is still inside. It was a good deterrent of a sentence as they never killed again

    The whistleblower said brothers, what brothers have been killed in this? It still doesn't identity them(IMO it's more than one person running that account)

    Puppy lovin has at least 50 accounts, Vic the Russian is the worse source on twitter, she needs serious help.

    I think it's just the absence of an apostrophe - "my brother's death" as opposed to "my brothers death. So one of his brothers was killed.

    When someones clothes get confiscated in custody the garda go to penneys to buy them new clothes, I'd say thats what happened there.

    Its an old picture anyway going back to about 2011.

    This is actual footage i just seen on RTE of him being brought into court this morning.

    And about the clothes, yeah im aware of what happens but you can get attire for court sent in by the family.

    Yeah, parole is not a certainty. The State have the right to hold the convicted person for the rest of their life.

    It's up to the discretion of the Justice Minister of the day.

    Average time served on a life sentence these days is 22 years.

    I doubt very much that was him arriving in court today, was he taking in via prison van, it is very hard to get a shot of the prisoners being taking into the special criminal court as they are usually taking in via underground car park which is out of view of camera shots.

    Brothers could be right, the Kavanagh brothers were killed by their own (on cancer's orders)and the whistleblower does mention they don't know any hutches.

    The cartel has ripped off and killed so many now it's difficult to pin the account down to anyone or persons, they have covered their tracks well.
