The eight people were detained across several Garda stations in Dublin under Section 2 of Criminal Justice Act 1996 It is the latest find linked to the group in Dublin since their long-standing franchise in the city was effectively shut down. That Dublin based unit of the cartel – the Byrne-organised crime group led by Crumlin man Liam Byrne – collapsed after its leader was targeted by Cab and he fled to Britain. Other members of the group were jailed for activities linked to the Kinahan-Hutch feud in the wake of the Regency Hotel attack in February 2016, where Byrne’s brother, David Byrne, was shot dead.
