What fate will await the Kinahans if they are extradited home to Ireland?

A homecoming of epic proportions will be on the cards for the leaders of the Kinahan organised crime group as the Irish director of public prosecutions considers which charges to level against Christy Kinahan Snr and his sons Daniel and Christopher Jnr.
After years of speculation as to which country they will face trial in garda commissioner drew Harris confirmed this week that Ireland is hoping to have the trio home before the special criminal court.
Nicola speaks with Niall Donald about the implications of any decision by the DPP, about the under pressure Garda Commissioners rush to break the news to the political classes and about the unprecedented plans that will have to be put in place around a forthcoming trial.

As a genuine Irish gangland influencer, working in Dunne's Stores . I find these videos influencial.

[@JSL2000]

Having lived in Birmingham for 20 years, I must say that when I go back to Ireland I find The Irish Gardai very impressive whether its dealing with crowds, managing traffic, or just being a presence. I find then professional, engaging, and trust worthy. Its a world away from 20 years ago where they were too busy being full of self importance and being big pals with local business and other people of self importance. To be fair, the day of squaring speeding tickets was coming to a close no matter what.

[@patkearney9320]

Never thought about it like that sharp true comment I suppose when you see them every day you don’t notice. Regards Ireland.

[@JSL2000]

@@patkearney9320 Thanks for reply. Yes, these things aren't so noticeable when they're seen every day. But they're definitely noticeable from the outside looking back in.

[@seamusburke9101]

Don't you believe it! They're still the most corrupt police force on this planet. You don't have to take my advice but avoid like the plague if you have any sense.

[@patkearney9320]

Old Kinahan was a different animal to the others I’m ten years younger than him and remember him in nice clothes nice car and a nice bloke, I only knew him from a distance but he was no bully. Old Kinahan got into the drug thing when he seen what the Dunne family had done only difference he had smarts. I was an addict as a young lad for a couple of years, that summer 1980 was the golden brown summer of Dublin even Europe it was everywhere. I remember Micky Dunne all flash his own driver, Larry the same untouchable yet two years later I remember Micky ripping a guy off over a gold chain, he fell fast. C?K was smart and it’s easy to blame him for everything but he’s been working since the 80s. I’m sure he never planned for this but big money big risk. He should write a book and I’m sure he will. I worked the rest of my life but I’m happy there’s many junkies from the Golden brown summer 1980 where heroin changed a city in one summer. God bless Danny Mullins head of the drug squad there was ten for the whole country. Crazy looking back but C.K is not the only one he has many Irish bosses who stay clean. Ok that’s my story Eire Nua.

[@helendeegan1591]

My friends and myself knew a cab driver too in Dublin back in the seventies, and he was a very nice kid, Christy was his name he lived in Tallaght, however, told us he originally came from the north side. It might not be the same guy, but in all honesty, he was a gentleman, he was. The type of kid you would trust to bring your grandma home safe. He wasn't tough at all. I feel the media should refrain from interviews and discussions about the Kinahans until they have firm evidence that they have been arrested and charged. All this speculation and hype could instigate another outburst of violence, the last thing anybody wants, as the victims families' on both sides have called out for peace. It must be terrible for them, coming to terms with the violent circumstances their family member died under. Both sides weren't right and two wrongs will never make a right. R.I.P. on their souls. More going on than is being reported from probably much higher up.

[@helendeegan1591]

I am the biggest offender myself, I follow those sites, hard to know what the resolve will be, maybe better to leave well enough alone for now. Very tragic for the family's of the victims.

[@user-br8nf2om2n]

Patkearney is it true that christy had a drug habit himself bck in the day during the heroin epidemic or did he stay clean some people say he was using some say he just sold it

[@enquirer2.0]

Nicola looking well 🔥

[@rarecockneyguvnor4945]

What I like about Nicola is she doesn't have many Freckles

[@patkearney9320]

She tormented my family for the crimes of an in law who we finished with years ago, and we wouldn’t help if we could that’s a job for the cops. She’s a nice woman but our family don’t play them games we are working class people. But we’re not touts

[@seamusburke9101]

​​@@patkearney9320fair play to yee Pat. I wish I had a family like yours, mine would rather drop you in the shit just for their own entertainment. Ah but they're behind me now. All the best to yee all.

[@leoobroin3804]

Brilliant podcast guys...as always.

[@mo6278]

The Americans have said that they have Daniel for 18 tons of white in philly USA, ADX Florence awaits

[@Bluesea1690]

Bullshit if they had him for that he would have already been arrested. They have nothing just hear say. Same as the case they have built against him in Ireland all circumstantial. He won’t be charged in Ireland or America anytime soon

[@albertmccready478]

That be a very tough place to spend the rest of your lifetime

[@The955man]

Nicola - Your son did a great job whilst you were away, always good to see the family together after a short break 👍

[@gizabitadat1499]

keep it in the family rings a bell 4 sure !!!

[@polly6336]

Niall's looking remarkably manly and handsome on this fine day. Thanks for the update, Nicola and team.

[@alunstevenfennell1042]

I believe you are reading far to much into this, and somewhat clutching of straws. 1. For authority in the UAE to even consider arrest and extradition of any Kinahan family member, this process should have been presented to the DPP a number of years ago, and an issuance from the Irish judiciary to the UAE authorities should have been made through our consular channels and even perhaps at a state level( This should not have been left solely with an garda siochana) hence we have had absolute no movement by the UAE on this matter. 2. The DEA announcement in early 2022 was possibly far to premature, senior levels of an garda siochana had not done there due diligence, by have charge sheets drawn up before the DEA announcement. 3. It’s far more likely that the DEA will step in long before the Irish authorities, when eventually the UAE see the charges from both Ireland and the US, the US are more interested in the Kinahans for one of the biggest drug bust following the MSC Gayane which was ceased off the coast of Philadelphia in 2019, and even more so for Arms Trafficking across swades of Africa by Vincent. Personally I don’t think we will every see these people in an Irish court house, majority of which will be circumspect evidence, likely to turn out much like a Gerry Hutch trial, where the wrong charges will be brought to answer. It’s much more likely that the DEA have undercover evidence, perhaps even planted individuals into organisations linked to Kinahans, they probably have far more on them than we know.

[@Neilh-yh4oi]

I get the impression the USA will pull rank on you once they are lifted. Keep up your incredible content. 😉

[@helendeegan1591]

I can't understand and maybe it is just me, as I really am only an onlooker, I just glance at blogs. When two Irish gangs are at war, as these two factions seemingly are or have been. What has it to do with the US.? Somebody pointed out to me that those gangs are international criminals, whether that is true or not, my guess would be they should all look a little closer to home. I just don't believe all that has and is being reported is genuinely real, there are a lot more involved on an international level then, if that be true, these are international criminals and gangs. Big names world wide are hiding behind the Kinahans. Christy could come forward and disclose , but because he wouldn't , doesn't mean he couldn't, however, he won't. It is making the Irish look bad on an international level, it is. Anti Irish propaganda.

[@helendeegan1591]

I don't believe they are as responsible as is being more or less stated than suggested, I really don't feel they are. Anti Irish propaganda. I hope they never find them haha

[@europeanroyalty4778]

If they go to the state's they die in a tomb.They definitely won't over here. Send them all stateside.

[@JB_Koda]

I enjoy your work Donald, winding up Nicola :)

[@seamus9750]

Hopefully they get a family cell in the joy...

[@patkearney9320]

G.H brought D.K down with the regency that got worldwide attention don’t think G.H didn’t know this would crush them. He’s seen as a working class hero and he is. He’s beaten the SCC something that’s very very rare. And he crushed the Kinahan boxing world to nothing and that must have hurt D.K. That was the beginning of the end for the Kinahan clan nothing has gone smoothly for them since.

[@dean7652]

D.K bought D.K down by getting Gary Hutch whacked.

[@mo6278]

To what end look at all the familys who have lost their children mums and dads It sickings me now

Maybe the kinnahans could get a job Co hosting the show with you guys on crime world , via phone . 😂

[@Kbm-sp5mn]

Think they should be concentrating on the illegal immigrants that are stalking all the young Irish girls and basically laughing in the Irish peoples faces rather than going over and over about the kinahans. It’s becoming like a broken record now and in my eyes obsessive and stalkerie of them!

[@cjb61171]

So its okay to criticize someone's appearance now is it, your no oil painting yourself woman

[@JohnCleary-vg7ci]

Why are all these media journalist bad mouthing the KINAHAN FAMILY . consistently on their podcasts? Doesn't The constitution of Ireland give us these fundamental personal rights which are provided for us in Article (40) fundamental rights they have the right to free movement and passage, personal privacy and bodily integrity , and the right to protest , provided by the IRISH constitution which is the foundation of all IRISH law , it's a violation of their Human rights as to what these media journalist are saying on their podcasts about these gentlemen? Which is Criminal ?

[@jamb6600]
