Real IRA brothers provoke ‘upset’ in criminal underworld

VETERAN members of the Provisional IRA have joined senior criminals in taking on two Real IRA brothers who have “upset” the criminal underworld.

The brothers, from Donaghmede, in north Dublin, have made many enemies recently by extorting money from drug dealers and muscling in on security at pub doors.

The brothers, particularly the 30-year-old sibling who is the leader of the outfit, are suspects in the murder of drug gang member Sean Winters in north county Dublin last Sunday week.
