That's the way they're describing it.

So you take the hand on what you want to talk about first.

Well, the guards set up an operation, Operation Lamprey.

And in August 2023, they raided a number of properties.

And one of those raided was Gary and Debbie's house in Galway.

And they basically, they took, it was about 12 grand in cash, a Rolex watch, the ladies' watch.

Two Ford Focus cars and a Ford Transit van.

So like on the face of it, you'd say it's not a whole lot.

But as you say, then the evidence that was given, the belief evidence that kind of really outlined and detailed how the gang worked and what roles the others played.

Certainly, it was an insight.

The council for CAB described their modus operandi as reprehensible in that they sought out and identified vulnerable people either through drug addiction or drug deaths and basically intimidated and forced them into carrying out all their dirty work.

And this included, you know, traveling to Dublin or Limerick or wherever to pick up their supply, to then store it, then to bag it, mix it and bag it and have it ready for sale and supply.

And they, you know, they, I suppose, tried to keep as arm's length as possible in that sense, but did it by this kind of...

Yeah.

And they had, and they were being supplied, they were being supplied, they had supply contacts as it was put in Dublin, the Midlands and Limerick.

So they were well connected in that sense.

So they were obviously shopping around for the best deals or wherever the

I suppose the best product or the most, I suppose the cheapest product might be what they were after.

But whatever was available, they'd switch obviously between different suppliers for different drugs as well.

And of course, these people at the very bottom of the gangland food chain were being sent out to do it and were explicitly told to do exactly what they were ordered to do or they would face consequences and their families would face consequences as well.
