Larry Dunne at Green Street Courthouse, Dublin in 1985
This afternoon.
Drug dealer Larry Dunne is dead.
Via RTÉ:
Dunne had more than 40 criminal convictions including convictions for supplying heroin and cocaine. The 72year-old began supplying heroin in Dublin after it became widely available in Europe following the Iranian revolution.
Dunne was the first drug dealer in Dublin to organise groups of young “runners” on the streets and in the flat complexes to supply heroin. He therefore earned the moniker “Larry doesn’t carry”

Dunne Deal.
The Damage Dunne, no?
Much better. Thanks, Missred.
In the hot place now.
…so surprised he was still alive…the number of lives he ruined over the years…remember reading a book called ‘Smack’ about how he introduced heroin to Dublin…what struck me most though was the bravery of Tony Gregory…
Was Tony Felloni not the first to bring heron to Dublin? Much disputed anyways, I’d say.
Tony Felloni was selling it at £10. The Dunnes started selling it at £9.99
Ha! Typical Dunnes strategy.
I knew (through family) a few names that were in that book. Now their kids and grandkids are wreaking havoc, it’s hard to break the cycle clearly.
Thanks for all the heroin, Larry.
Dunne and Crescenzi. Connection? You won’t find it on Google. A good journalist might
I was wondering who’s funeral that was alright
He had Covid hair back in the day.
…Corvid…
