He does.
And it's one of the late John O'Driscoll.
It's one of many public, I suppose, comments that he made over the years.
He was probably the lead investigator.
Right.
Well, he was the lead investigator into the cartel at this stage, but he's kind of using words like in his interview about it's particularly regrettable that organised crime, and he used the word, has hijacked boxing.
And...
To quote what he actually said, he says, organised crime groups have caused huge damage in their own communities and have destroyed lives within their own neighbourhoods by supplying drugs.
But it's particularly regrettable that they are also suspected of causing significant damage to a sport associated with working class areas too.
He does, and then he goes on to speak about something we've touched on before about their interventions, basically, to save lives.
And he points out at that point, and he was talking about the feud, it wasn't just that particular year.
At that stage of 2018, they had the National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau had done 63 of these interventions to save lives.
So I suppose at this point we're going into 2019 and there's a lot of active investigations going on.

Thomas Bommer-Kavner, who was basically the head of the UK side of business for the cartel, he would later ultimately be jailed for 22 years.
In terms of the feud with...
In terms of murders on the street with so many people locked up, the actual life-saving interventions, the figure was actually down, was significantly down on previous years.
And then we had some crazy developments as well, I suppose, and tragic as well.
We had the trial of Patrick Hutch for the Regency Hotel murder of David Byrne and
And in tragic and kind of unprecedented circumstances, that trial collapsed after the very sad death of the lead investigator in the case, Colm Fox.
