The garda hierarchy is dangling the US $15m reward, and a new life in the US federal witness programme, to coax Kinahan cartel lieutenants to give information leading to the prosecution of its leaders.

On Monday, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris and deputy commissioner Justin Kelly called on cartel associates to have a “really good think” about their future lives as further extraditions from the UAE increase in likelihood.
