In February 2016, a hit-team of 6 men burst through the doors of a boxing weigh-in at Dublin's Regency Hotel. There, a Kinahan Cartel lieutenant named David Byrne, was shot point blank in the head. The attack took place in front of a room packed full of sportspeople, media and civilians including young children. From that moment on, Irish gangland would never be the same again.
The Kinahan's is a new true crime series from The Irish Sun telling the complete story of Ireland's most feared crime family. The podcast looks at how a middle class man and his two sons from Dublin, became Europes biggest drugs cartel. We also look at what comes next for the cartel, as they continue to evade The FBI, An Garda Síochána, Interpol and a number of other police services globally.

Customer Reviews
Brilliant podcast
Great podcast
Brilliant
This is probably the best podcast I have listened to in a long time. The narrator is so good at telling the story. Very clear and the description of the whole feud is second to none. I highly recommend this podcast. 👍
Crime journalists at their best
As a consumer of news, my knowledge was at the extreme edge. This podcast educated, informed and entertained the listener throughout. The quote “Bad things happen when good people do nothing” springs to mind.
Irish authorities it seems only react when they are embarrassed internationally.
I have no hesitation in recommending this podcast to anyone. Brilliant.
