Everything is sort of shipped or posted or couriered.

But I'll just tell you the kind of money that was to be made in this because it was also heard in court that McCourt had told one customer that he would throw in 10 pipe bombs as a free gift to seal a 75,000 cash deal to supply guns and ammunition for one particular organisation.

Some people get like, you know, a travel bag of makeup if they buy expensive creams or something.

Yeah, exactly.

But you're getting 10 free pipe bombs on top of the, you know,

For sure.

And I mean, look, you know, smuggling weapons from the US where they're legal is nothing new.

No.

1987 was it when, with the IRA, there was an attempt to smuggle a massive shipment of weapons into Ireland through Boston.

Yeah.

Whitey Bulger.

Yes.

Was involved and it all came a proper off the coast of Ireland.

Yeah.

when the Marita Ann Trawler was seized by the Irish Army.

So it's nothing new.

It's nothing new.

But sort of breaking them up and sending them bit by bit through different courier companies maybe is just the nature of the modern world.

Yeah.

Okay, thanks Niall.
