Irish Examiner view: Keeping up with the Kinahans

It is a reassuring and welcome joint operation to take on a group that is a stain on our country

Assistant Commissioner John O'Driscoll shows a slide relating to Garda seizures from the Kinahan organised crime group, at Dublin City Hall on Tuesday. 

It was 70 years ago that the then Irish ambassador to Washington, John Hearne, sent a box of shamrock to US president Harry S Truman to mark our national day.

Mr Truman was not in the White House that day, but the pomp and ceremony grew from there and the annual tradition is now an important event for our taoiseach of the day.
