Liam Byrne arrest: what next for the Kinahan cartel?

Last weekend, senior Kinahan cartel member Liam Byrne was arrested while on a family holiday  in Mallorca, on suspicion of serious firearms offences. He now faces extradition to the UK and will be put on trial. If found guilty, the gang member could face a sentence of up to 20 years in jail. Crime and Security editor Conor Lally explains the significance of his arrest and how this will come as yet another blow to the Kinahan organised crime group.
