On April 20th, Irish police are feeling a real surge of pride after Daniel can a-hands arrest and Dubai wraps up their 10-year hunt tied to the brutal. Hutch, slash, kinahan, gang war. This feud has taken out at least 18 lives, mostly in Dublin's north inner city, and Gardai investigators poured everything into cracking in. Nile Hodgins, a detective whose work those streets and is stepping up as president of the Garter Representative Association, says his team is. Finally, shifting from exhaustion to recovery after that non-stop grind. Officers went through years of despair amid the violence, but now there's hope with a fresh direction under the new Garter Commissioner, Justin Kelly, whom Hodgins prays for steering the ship right. Hodgins got emotional paying tribute to the late John O'Dry school, the former assistant commissioner who led the charge against kinahan's crime network, and other drug gangs, until retiring in 2022, he passed away in 2024, just missing this big win. Kinahan now faces extradition from the United Air of Emirates on organized crime charges,

and as Gardai look ahead, that pride fuels their push for even. Stronger policing in the streets ahead.
