Summary

Sean McGovern was on a mission to kill as a senior lieutenant in the Kinahan Cartel when he organised to use tracker devices in the plan to murder Noel ‘Duck Egg’ Kirwan. Later as he and his cell targeted James ‘Mago’ Gately they had no idea they were under surveillance and that their murder plot would lead to their downfall. Yesterday McGovern was confronted by a victim impact statement from the children of Kirwan, Donna and Christopher, who told him they would never get over their Dad’s death. Nicola talks to Eamon Dillon about the sensational evidence that give us a window into the blood lust of the Kinahan Cartel. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
