Its drug turf wars.

Underpinned by religious hatred.

Never underestimate the level of pure, vicious hatred that STILL exists in hearts of a minority of the Irish people.

Holy s**t, I had no idea that MTK were linked to a crime boss and couldn't stage events in Ireland due to a previous shooting!

They have a few big names to, Saunders, Fury, Frampton etc.... this somehow escaped me, I've certainly not seen anything on here.

haven't you seen the boycott Irish media campaign by mtk

Nah. This is all in the Republic - the gangs in Northern Ireland are still split on sectarian lines, in fact being largely continuations of the old paramilitary groups, but this is straightforward gangster / cartel ish.

Are they the same group of people involved in the Jamie Kavanagh weight in shooting?

Were any arrests made for that shooting?

One of the shooters Kevin Murray died because of natural causes with neurone disease and Patrick Hutch is before the courts charged with murder

also people need to stop going on about religious sectarianism, It has nothing to do with that, This is one drugs gang imploding and it has got personal, it's no longer about drugs it's just pure hatred for one another and big seizures are happening and people are getting caught from all sides and their has been a few convictions and more in the courts as we speak and their will be many more
