The life and crimes of Mr Flashy

The Gangster known as ‘Mr Flashy’ is under pressure from police over firearms discovered during a raid on his headquarters a number of years ago.
His arrest could bring to the end the reign of the young gun who has led a dangerous grouping through a series of feuds over the past 10 years.
Despite being just 30 years of age ‘Flashy’ has blazed a trail through gangland as much on social media as on the ground in his native Finglas.
Nicola speaks to Niall Donald about Flashy, his background and the reasons we don’t unveil his true identity.

Young man in gangland terms at 30!!!….Thats an old man in gangland terms!!!

[@stephenotoole408]

Some of them don't live till 30.

Mr Flashy was known for his sartorial elegance and expensive wrist watches...he never looked threatening but he did a backup who would carry out his instructions

[@user-qn4jp5oz6h]

This man has 9 lives!

[@SantiagoBernebeu]

James Whelan’s mother’s home was firebombed after her son’s funeral? SMDH….How low can people get? What’s taking place in Dublin, makes the O.K Corral seem like a children’s playground. I bet I can spend from sunrise to sunset wondering around Glasnevin Cemetery seeking the resting places of all those shot dead in these feuds and still will not get to all of them before sunset. Way too many taken before time.

But he is not very hairy ??

[@aaronsmith1714]

U must be on the stuff are you

[@C.t1888]

Named him in the paper but left out mr flashy 🧐

[@SmokeNUFC]

Mr flashy and his gang aren't mentioned much here in England wihch is weird as the kinahanas and hutch gangs are active in England and often in English papers/media .. this video was very informative and insightful

[@josephblack2954]

Thats because the kinahans and hutch gang are proper gangsters, where as flashy is just a wannabe gangster

[@SmokeNUFC]

@@josephblack2954 true

Flashy is a mid level dealer at tops, people mistake being known with being being on job ​@@josephblack2954

[@Thegarygreen]

Flashy ran to the police and begged to taken into custody…. Afraid of his life if the Hennessy’s

He keeps being described as middle class - what does that actually mean ? His parents have jobs ?

[@tommurphy3544]

His mother is dog rough from videos I saw

[@johnwall1989]

Both parents have good paying jobs, and he would have lived comfortable growing up. Most of them have little or nothing growing up, coming from a broken home, etc, so a life of crime is seen as the only option.

So detailed great report. The BBC encrochatv special, was a nice supplement to all the reports CRIMEWORLD has been doing. Funny how the Irish haven't pursued it. mmmmmm something fishy abounds sounds like. Well, not to be the clothing police, but, um would Neal consider wearing a shirt with collar? I think as a visual it's important to convey a semi-formal smart look, maybe not every day but at least most days. Just saying..it. is a bit of a distraction. Should the big mics be covering the mouth? It's kind of an eyesore. Who's directing this? Any experience behind them? Visuals? Just a friendly thought. One shot, two shot, one shot, two shot, cut cut cut. Are we watching a Telenovela?
