Live from Nakatomi Plaza… I mean, Molesworth Place.
The media massiv waits outside. AIB has already announced it’s pulling out of the cashless move
Michael Collins is now free from AIB
Collins says it’s the biggest movement since Irish Water.

The 3 amigos left their constituencies at 4 this morning and came here to get a victory.

He says they have that victory now and it’s a great day for rural Ireland
The boys are back in town.
There they go. Mission accomplished.

#BREAKING

Wow.

United States offering a reward of up to $5,000,000 for information leading to the disruption of the Kinahan organisation - or the arrest and conviction of the three leaders of the Kinahan group.
Garda Commissioner Drew Harris says he hopes today will be a crippling blow to the Kinahans.

He says the OCG is believed to have made over €1bn in revenue.
"This is only the first phase of this initiative," says Harris - who says other nations in Spain, the Netherlands and beyond have already offered huge help and will continue to play a major role.

The US Government has imposed sanctions on senior members of what it describes as the 'Notorious Kinahan Organized Crime Group'

home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
A major, major step by Gardaí and law enforcement in the US and UK against the Kinahan group.

The US sanctions mean American institutions can't work with the Kinahans or associated businesses.

Property and credit lines blocked, cards frozen, can't fly with American carriers.
“Criminal groups like the KOCG prey on the most vulnerable in society and bring drug-related crime and violence, including murder, to the countries in which they operate."

Brian E Nelson, US under-secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.
