War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.

Ignorance is strength.

And this is where the character is taught everything is different.

You know, black is white, basically.

And I wonder, does Sean McGovern send a little message carrying the famous George Orwell novel?

We'll never know him because he's never going to appear in Crime World to answer the questions, I would imagine.

Never say never.

Never say never.

Thanks, Em.

It was a pleasure, Nat.

Sean McGovern is now the fifth person to be convicted for a role in the brutal murder of Noel Duckey-Kirwan.

The innocent grandfather was gunned down in 2016 as the Kinnahan cartel was gripped with bloodlust as they sought soft targets linked to the Hutchess.

Today I'm talking to Crime World's Eamon Dillon about McGovern's role and the four others who have already pled guilty in court.

I'm Niall Donald and this is Crime World, a podcast from crimeworld.com.

So, Eamonn, you were in court this week to hear the sentencing details for Sean McGovern and how it laid out the Kinnigan cartel's plan to kill Noel Duck Egg here.

I mean, the messages themselves, some of the messages were gruesome and bloodthirsty, I think is the only way to describe it.

But we heard as well during the details of that murder of

probably small snippets of what four other men, their role playing in the assassination of Noel Kirwan.

And we just thought we'd go back into it today, I suppose, because it's an interesting case in showing how these feud murders have been policed really quite relentlessly by the Gardaí.
