Irish gangs join British to control Europe’s drug gateways
Of course, the big boast spun by Irish cartels is the shadowy connection to the IRA. For those in the know in this reporter’s hometown of Liverpool, the republicans were known as the Ra or just “the boys”, euphemisms casually name-dropped by gangsters and wannabes to conjure up a sense of power.It is no coincidence that the fortunes of the Liverpool cartel and their Irish cousins have grown in tandem.
Their links strengthened in the late 1980s and 1990s, the boom time of Anglo-Irish drug dealing, when the foundations of their multibillion Euro empires were laid and crime dynasties were born – the same families that are being decimated in Dublin today.
