An associate of convicted Kinahan ­cartel killer James Quinn is allegedly running a drug-dealing network in Dublin’s south inner city.

The man, aged in his 20s, has hardly any criminal convictions and sources say he has been “trading on the name” of Quinn, who is serving a 22-year sentence in a Spanish jail for his role in the murder of Gary Hutch in 2015 – the killing that sparked the Hutch-Kinahan feud.
