So by the Regency Hotel shooting in February 2016 and in the immediate aftermath, boxing commentators were covering that story because MGM at that point had become what they were calling one of the biggest players in the sport on this side of the Atlantic, which was probably a bit of an eye opener to us crime journalists who hadn't really overly focused on that, even though we knew they were involved initially.
boxing, crime, criminals, you know, MMA.
They always seem to mix and mingle.
Outside the National Stadium as well, was it?
Indeed, you mentioned Oliver Bond there back again one year previous in 2014 when Jean Boylan, the mother of Christie Jr.
and Daniel Kinahan died.
They actually brought that area to a standstill for her funeral and they behaved like a mafia organisation.
And photographers on that occasion were also told to move on or else.
You know, no police were involved in that.
It was a time in policing in Ireland that you would not have been proud of, I have to say, while working as a journalist, trying to expose the activities, the strength and the belief in the untouchability of this cartel.

They were over and back to Ireland.
You know, you still had those opportunities in Spain, although it was a little bit more difficult and dangerous to work out there.
Dubai is impossible.
You know, this is the next period of their lives when they move on there.
I think it's illegal, actually, to do the kind of work we do.
So it was the last opportunity to sort of detail what they were at.
