The Violent Implosion: The Story of Dublin’s Westies Gang
from Plastic Paddy · host Steven Ellis
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the west Dublin suburbs of Blanchardstown and Mulhuddart became the territory of a new and particularly vicious criminal gang. Known as the Westies, this small but brutal outfit quickly established a reign of terror based on extreme and gratuitous violence. Their power derived not from a large organization but from the chilling reputation of their leaders, a tight-knit group of men who would eventually fall victim to the very chaos they created.
