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”
