And it probably was more dangerous.
In hindsight, you look back, I certainly do, on some of the jobs I did, and you wouldn't be sending anyone on them now.
And it felt inconceivable to us that criminals could behave like that in Dublin, a European capital city, where you'd always felt safe doing your job and you didn't feel that criminals would put it up to you like that.
They had butchers and they had people that were taking those ridges and all the rest of it.
We don't want to give any impression, by the way.
Undoubtedly, the Kinnehans have had people within the guards working with them.
We do not want to give the impression at all that in general the guards were working with them.
There was definitely, you know, a kind of a hangover, really, from cuts, from lack of recruitment, all of that stuff within the Guards.
Finances were tight and certainly there was a willing within many of the units to police them.
But they were not in the country always.
They were only in sporadically and usually for social events.
And there was decisions made sometimes about what to police and what not because of the resources it took.
And sometimes you did find yourselves, you know, trying to get up close and personal with an international drug cartel without any backup there at all.
But I suppose after the Clash of the Clans event and that shooting at the Regency Hotel where Daniel Kinahan escaped with his life, where David Byrne was murdered, where videos went out across the world of this kind of terrorist style attack on a boxing event.
Instead of pulling back after that and maybe just putting his head down, Kinahan dusts himself down.
He gets straight back to business.
And in fact, he becomes absolutely intent on sending a message to those who tried to kill him.
Nothing was getting in the way of his master plan and he was still very much focused on boxing.
In the next part of this, we are going to discuss that relentless pursuit to dominate the boxing world.
Because again, it's very important to kind of look back before you can see exactly where this guy was during that phone call with you.
