Show Notes
THE family of Noel Kirwan has never spoken publicly about his life, and his murder at the hands of the Kinahan Cartel. Until now.
Donna and Kristopher Kirwan take listeners back to a time before Dublin's north inner city was torn apart by a gang war.
When their dad, known as Duck Egg, fought to keep the heroin dealers away. When the community was united, no matter what was thrown at them.
Discussing the murder which destroyed their lives, a murder which would have grave implications for the Kinahan OCG, they remember their own fight for survival. And how, incredibly, it only got worse when the Cartel came at their family again. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
