They're all gone.

I'm my baby's life.

We're going to kill them all.

And you could say, right, two days after being shot, their friend being shot dead.

That's understandable but that carries right through for several months and in relation to the plot and the successful murder unfortunately of Noel Kirwan in September of that year kind of manifests himself and they're discussing targets, they're discussing hitmen to go after Noel Kirwan and there's text basically setting out how we'll put a certain individual called Teeth on it and he's inferred to be a hitman for the gang and they want to get his confidence back up.

So the inference there is that Teat has been involved in unsuccessful plots in the past and they see Noel Kirwan really as a soft target.

And, you know, we've had 18 people shot dead as part of the feud.

Two were described as innocent bystanders.

Noel Kirwan doesn't fit into that category because he wasn't a bystander.

So he was, you know, discriminately targeted by the Kinnans because they thought that he had some connection to Gerard Hutch.

And unfortunately that manifested in December 2016, Noel Kirwan being murdered.

Not from what we've seen in court, I know from those messages, they do give an insight into the mindset of the Kinahans throughout that kind of two-year period.

The only bit of doubt was when Sean McGovern asked, you know, should we do Ming's daughter?

And Daniel Kinahan responds like, yeah, probably would bring too much heat on us.

Other than that, they're kind of all in agreement that certain people have to go, certain people have to be targeted and were real vengeful, you know, just kind of bloodlust targeting these people indiscriminately.

Some people who were killed in that funeral were suspected of having some sort of involvement, logistical involvement in their agency.

A lot weren't, a lot were in some bystanders.

Noel Curran was targeted because he was photographed beside the monk at his brother's funeral.

And, you know, that was the motive essentially for it.

He had nothing to do with the monk.
