Retired senior police officer Pat Leahy has stated that it is inevitable the leaders of the Kinahan cartel will eventually be returned to Ireland, either through extradition or as victims of gangland violence. Marking ten years since the infamous Regency Hotel attack, Leahy reflected on the brutal feud between the Kinahan and Hutch gangs that claimed 18 lives and transformed Ireland's criminal landscape. He credited international cooperation, especially with the United States, for tightening the net around the cartel's leaders, who are now believed to be running out of options to evade justice. Leahy also expressed concern that the trauma and violence of the feud may persist for generations, emphasizing the need for community-wide support and counselling for those affected.
