'Mad Dog' (Part 2): Bloody loyalist feuds and the banishment of Johnny Adair


Listen Later

Johnny ‘Mad Dog’ Adair was behind the murder of many innocent Catholics during the Troubles but his lower Shankill mob, ‘C Company’, was also behind two bloody feuds with fellow loyalists. The first with their rivals the UVF, the second with the rest of the UDA - that’s when C-Company went too far. Ciarán Barnes tells the story of the fall of Johnny Adair and the banishment of his supporters and their families from west Belfast.
