About this episode

Episode 1: The Kinahans begins its story in Dublin of the late 1970’s as heroin burst onto the scene. The Dunne’s, Ireland’s leading crime group, were responsible for much of the devastation the new opioid had brought across Dublin City. It wasn’t long before a young petty criminal from Phibsboro wanted a slice of the pie. His name was Christy Kinahan.


The Kinahans is brought to you by The Irish Sun. This series was written and produced by UrbanMedia.
