    Episode 1: The Kinahans begins its story in Dublin of the late 1970’s as heroin burst onto the scene. The Dunne’s, Ireland’s leading crime group, were responsible for much of the devastation the new opioid had brought across Dublin City. It wasn’t long before a young petty criminal from Phibsboro wanted a slice of the pie. His name was Christy Kinahan.

Unreal Podcast Glad I listened to it.

Loved listening to this podcast whilst driving between Dublin and Galway. I've read a few books and this podcast was very accurate. I'll be looking forward to the next chapter.
