Introducing the six 'new wave' foot soldiers of notorious Dublin crime bosses Mr Flashy and Mr Big who are stepping up and filling the void that was left after the brutal killing of Robbie Lawlor.
Mr Flashy; the Kinahan-aligned boss of the dangerous Finglas organised crime group 'The Gucci Gang' and Mr Big; a north Dublin gangland opportunist who has now earned himself the tag as the No1 target for the Garda’s Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau, have proudly unveiled their newest prime members who have come to the forefront following the murder of hitman Lawlor.
A source revealed to Dublin Live that since the death of the feared Lawlor, there has been an "explosion of young lads dealing drugs" in the Coolock area.
The source said: "The drug dealing is so obvious. Cars are constantly driving in and out of the estate.
"Six people in particular have really crawled out of the woodwork since Lawlor was killed.
"They are all working for Mr Big but Mr Flashy drops down and keeps an eye on them as well."
One member of the dirty half dozen named has nearly 50 previous convictions and is well-known to Gardai who in one incident, he had previously threatened during a confrontation.
It is understood that the others, who have no previous convictions, "are intimidating the community, are all relatives and from well-known families".
The source added: "These people were involved in dealing beforehand but they were obviously in fear of Robbie Lawlor as they were rarely seen as openly as they are now because they are no longer in competition with [Lawlor].
"I think [Lawlor] kept a lid on the anti-social behaviour and these people feared him.
"The locals turn a blind eye for obvious reasons but it's so brazen and clear what is going on."
Dad-of-three Robbie Lawlor, 35, was gunned down at close range outside a house in Belfast at the start of April and was pronounced dead at the scene of the bloodbath.
A separate source previously told Dublin Live that "The Gucci Gang have been involved in all sorts of violence and murders" and are the top dogs in Dublin's gruesome gangland game.
They said: "This Gucci Gang have been causing mayhem across Finglas, Coolock and West Dublin.
"They are a delusional bunch of street thugs who are making a fortune on their drugs empire... but they are making a lot of enemies too."
