The Kinahan structure and the organization already existed.

He was late to the table going out.

And his father was very, very fond of Sam O'Sullivan, who was a young guy from Dublin who has been an associate of his father for a long time.

And I think he was probably a bit jealous of Sam O'Sullivan and he had to elbow his way in to be respected.

He became this person that a lot of people said was a bit sinister, a bit threatening.

Jealous.

Would pretend to be your friend, but could stab you in the back.

Fought hard to get the status that he wanted, which was something that maybe came more naturally to his father.

That's what I'm going to say about him.

And also he...

He would have had a lot of relationships.

He had a friendship with Gary Hutch, obviously, that went south.

But, you know, they would have sat in a lot.

He wasn't a major socialiser, Daniel.

He tried to be... So, you see, his father, when he was down on the Costa, Daniel... Sorry, Christopher Kinahan Sr.

would socialise, but with these quite sophisticated Europeans...

Daniel never really was able to do that.

No.

Across that line, it's that sophistication.

He always hung on to Dublin, to the old friends, to the people he knew, to the people he knew he could control and who were yes men.
