the sicilianisation of ireland

1. The IRA is the presiding mafia in Ireland.

2.. There are more than 100 international mafias quartered here, including Cosa Nostra, Ndrangheta, the Camorra and other Italian mafias, as well as Chinese Triads, Mexican Zetas, MS 13, Nigerian devil worship rings, the Russian mafia, Tinker gangs, Eastern European gangs, Al Qaeda, Isis, the Muslim Brotherhood and other associated Muslim gangs, and many, many more international mafias. All trade here with the permission of the IRA.

3. Most countries have a presiding mafia, that is to say a mafia from whom other gangs seek permission to do business within the territory of that country. This is a system mobsters have devised internationally over the past fifty years to prevent costly wars among themselves. In Ireland, as stated above, the presiding mafia is the IRA.

4. The IRA is divided into a cell structure of  mobs, often built around a single family of drug dealers such as the Kinahan Gang and the Hutch Gang. The IRA's cell groupings includes such thugs of convenience as the INLA, the Real IRA, the Continuity IRA, and various other drug dealing factions. Some of these groups are currently engaging in a turf war with each other.

5. The IRA has successfully subverted and controlled Ireland's trade union movement. It has also had substantial success in infiltrating and subverting the Judiciary, the media, the civil service, and more recently the police, and the country's main stream political parties.

6. The IRA's principal source of income comes from addicting Irish children and adults to drugs thereby condemning them to a vastly truncated life time of misery searching for money to pay the IRA for drugs.

7. The IRA's proxies in the Irish parliament are currently pushing through legislation to legalise drug use in Ireland.

8. The IRA's formal political front organisation is the political party styled Sinn Fein.

9. Anathematise the IRA.

10. The wars of the future will be mafia.
