The O'Leary Mob

The Irish Mob is one of the oldest organized crime groups in the United States. Existence of the Irish Mob has been tied back to the 19th century and has appeared in most major U.S. cities. During the 20th century the Irish Mob was a major influence on culture and many gangster movies featuring notorious Irish mobsters. Throughout the years the Irish Mob struggled after their golden age declined, under competition from the Italian families that began to rise. Irish gangs became less necessary, neighborhoods no longer needed the protection from these gangs and could live peacefully on their own.

History of the O’Leary Mob

Image
Patrick O'Leary, Circa 1994
Patrick O’Leary was a member of an Irish-American criminal organization located out of Kensington, Philadelphia. This was a tight knit group of fifty to sixty members who controlled the city’s Irish-American criminal underworld for most of the 20th century. The crew was known for their burglary and loansharking scams, but soon moved into gambling and drug trafficking later in its existence. With ties to other criminal organizations in Philadelphia, such as: the Scarfo Crime Family, Genovese Crime Family (South Jersey faction), and the local Greek Mob situated in Kensington.

Although business for the crew in Kensington was running smoothly, there was not enough potential to grow. Higher council members of the Kensington crew deemed it fit to spread business elsewhere, linking heroin trafficking routes to New York, Montreal, and Los Santos. O’Leary’s crew had control over the construction union and trucking routes in the city of Kensington. This allowed the crew to raise the amount of money they were raking in.

In 2005 O’Leary’s crew moved to Los Santos to gain more ground and increase the business for the organization. There was already a few known Irish-American mobs that set foot in Los Santos prior to O’Leary’s group, such as the Coonan Mob and The Long Beach Mob. Ties to the Kensington crew were cut in 2011, after the Philadelphia group seemed to disperse with some members being killed due to inner-faction conflict and others being sent away to prison.

Foundation of the Mob

The foundations of The O’Leary Mob are tied back to the crew in Kensington, Philadelphia. In April of 1994, O’Leary was second-in-command of the notorious Philadelphia crew that controlled the criminal underworld of Kensington. O’Leary had a lot of pull of what went on with the various rackets that the group controlled. Cocaine, heroin, gambling, and burglary were all strong suits for O’Leary’s men.

For the next six years things ran smoothly in Philadelphia for the group, feeling as if they were on top of the world at one point in time. Corrigan and O’Leary had no troubles and seemed to steer clear of both the media and law enforcement with all eyes being drawn to that of the Italian mafia. News reporters, children, adults, and law enforcement had an obsession with those of which were of Italian decent and that allowed Corrigan and O’Leary’s men to fly under the radar for the time being.

2001 poised a real problem for the group, both externally and internally. With inner-conflict brewing due to disputes and arguments, this also brought eyes from law enforcement onto the group. Frank Mullen was a long-time member of the organization who stood for what Corrigan and O’Leary believed in, that’s what it seemed so anyway. Mullen had an outburst at a meeting that was hosted for all members of the organization in June of 2001. Mullen disagreed with Corrigan’s plans for the future of the organization and decided to call his own shots for him and his men. A feud began which brought out a very violent year for the organization, over fifteen murders and attention from the police landed another four men in prison. After the feud ended, it left Corrigan’s men in shambles and business at an all-time low. With heat being brought to the group and information being leaked via police investigations, the system had to be changed.

Image
Jason Callaghan, Circa 2005
In 2005, Patrick O’Leary moved to Los Santos with few members of the original crew to kick start a new system into motion. John Flanagan, who was a longtime friend of O’Leary’s had come along as well as his nephew Jason Callaghan. Flanagan and Callaghan ran the show for O’Leary in Los Santos, working alongside other Irish outfits such as the Robins crew and the notorious Long Beach Mob who was the Irish-American power-house at the time. Ties with the Kensington group were also cut soon after moving to Los Santos as members were slowly moving off to prison and others being killed in late 2005 and early 2006. A new beginning came for O’Leary’s members, as partnerships with Los Santos organizations grew strong and business was on the rise.


Burns Avenue, Los Santos

In what was a great start to O’Leary’s entrance to Los Santos, it didn’t go without problems. Burns Avenue in eastern Los Santos was a predominantly Irish-American neighborhood at the time, with other Irish neighborhoods boarding it to the north and further east. An influx of Hispanic gangs gave the crew some trouble during 2007-2008, with small feuds over turf and drug trafficking. Hispanic gangsters wanted full control over the heroin and cocaine market at the time, which brought the worst out of O’Leary. The well-known ‘Attica Bar’ on Burns Avenue was set aflame in 2008, tearing the cherished establishment to pieces. This was an act of war and put O’Leary and his men into motion to settle the dispute.

Image
Daniel Kavanagh, Circa 2008
In 2008, three Hispanic gangsters performed a planned attack on O’Leary and his men outside of a home on Burns Avenue. O’Leary and two other members were shot at, one of which escaped unharmed and the other was sent to hospital in critical condition. O’Leary was left riddled in bullets and pronounced dead by paramedics upon arriving on scene. This left the group in turmoil without O’Leary at the reigns of this organization. Jason Callaghan took it upon himself to retaliate alongside John Flanagan, terrorizing the Hispanic neighbors for the upcoming months. At the start of 2009 the war had come to a violent ending, leaving both groups with dead friends and family members. 2009 also marked the year for change of the O’Leary Mob, appointing nephew Jason Callaghan to O’Leary’s old seat and Lieutenant Daniel Kavanagh to his second-in-command position. Burns Avenue changed over-time, with the war scaring out neighboring families and the modernization of the area.

Modern Day Mob

Today the group is led by Jason Callaghan, nephew of Patrick O’Leary. With most Irish-American groups being flushed out due to conflict, murder, and prison, it leaves Callaghan with a new beginning. The Coonan Mob, The Long Beach Mob, and The J. Avenue Mob were all undoubtedly strong figures in the Irish-American mob scene for years. With a new structure the group is said to have picked up where it left off, leaving all the aftermath of conflict behind them. Business as usual, the group began picking up again in early 2014 after a rough start in late 2009-early 2010. The spotlight has moved onto other organizations in the Los Santos underworld, giving the O’Leary Mob a chance to re-evaluate future endeavors.

In recent times the figure-heads of the O'Leary Mob have had their hands in various activities surrounding the criminal underworld in Los Santos. Jason Callaghan runs a tight knit crew as of late 2016 which carries itself through both illegal and legal means. With the creation of this Los Santos outfit, it brings plenty of new conflicts along with many business opportunities. Daniel Kavanagh has been a long time friend of Jason Callaghan's, being brought in under him back in Philadelphia. The duo are the only remaining factor that ties this group back to the Kensington crew that once was a powerhouse in its own right.

Known Fronts

Image
The Pig Pen
101 Felton Avenue, East Los Santos
Over the course of 2016 the outfit was heavily involved with many legal business fronts surrounding the East Los Santos region. A large portion of the income for the organization comes from these businesses with the amount of traffic driven towards them. The Pig Pen is the epitome of strip-clubs within Los Santos, and the eastern end of the state. It has always carried it's presence within the name, drawing people from all over town. The Pig Pen first opened its doors in 1989 when the night life scene in eastern Los Santos was booming. A cherished name such as the Pig Pen has lived on since then in which it has attempted to be revitalized multiple times. In recent times, the outfit is rumored to have lost ownership of this location. It was no longer wanted by the organization, although they still do hang-out and visit from time to time. The organization has developed other legal fronts to be of use to them on a day to day basis.



Image
Sully's Pub
89-B 54th Street, East Los Santos
Sully's Pub is an authentic Irish style pub located in Eastern Los Santos. The street is occupied mainly by older-style and run-down businesses that are now leased out to tenants. Only a few locations in the heart of 54th Street strive to this day. Sully's opened its doors to the public in late 2016 and has been striving ever since. The physical location was a vacant location prior to the renovations taken place within the space. The establishment receives plenty of business on a day-to-day basis as it's one of the biggest names in the eastern region of Los Santos as far as authentic pubs go. In late 2017 the pub has said to have gone to waste, with nobody to take it over after the incarceration of Thomas Sullivan. It was a historic front for East Los Santos, one that will be missed by all of the Irish-American community within Los Santos.

As of early 2018, Sully's Pub was re-opened by Jack Lonergan. It was restored and had its grand re-opening in January where all members of the Irish community could return to their favorite pub. To this day the pub still operates on 54th Street and attracts people from all over Los Santos. 54th Street seems to have a stronger presence of people these days, with a neighborly atmosphere.



Image
The Muddy Farmer
37-B Elm Street, East Los Santos
The Muddy Farmer is the newest addition to the East Los Santos community, with an Irish pub style interior and bar service. The bar was said to open in late 2017 (October/November), for all the public to enjoy. Albert McCarthy, the owner, has taken it into his own hands to renew the pub scene in the area after the closure of Sully's Pub, which was the traditional go-to pub for many months. The Muddy Farmer has moved slightly over from Sully's Pub, just over a block on Elm Street, across from the Cluck 'n Bell. It isn't far from Sully's, so customers can still find it with ease. All of the usual customers are said to still hang-out here, making the transition over to what seems to be the best up and coming pub/bar in the city.



Reemergence

WHERE HAVE THE IRISH GONE?
By Arthur Jones | October 1st, 2017

In June 2017, the O'Leary organization had been under-going internal changes. As most of the leadership took set-backs in day-to-day life, backing away from mainstream operations, illegal rackets, etc. Jason Callaghan, Daniel Kavanagh, and Owen Fanning separated from that of the rest of the group, to ensure their safety from law enforcement operations at the time. The trio was said to head their own tight-knit crew with no real figure-head at the time. Jason Callaghan grew older and lost his interest and time at the head of the organization, and sits back in an advisory role to the other two. As for the rest of the group, Darcy Hagan was found dead around the Ocean Docks area in early 2017. Law enforcement believe it was either a narcotics/weapons deal gone south, or an inside job done by the organization itself. At the current time, the investigation is still open and pending within the Los Santos Police Department's Detective Bureau. Other notable members, such as Robert Faulkner and Thomas Sullivan were said to venture off on their own terms of business. Faulkner split to make a new crew in and around the same area, with his own business ideas and opportunities in the criminal underworld. As for Sullivan, the world wasn't so kind and he found himself locked up for a murder charge that landed him twenty-five (25) years.

There is no explanation for how things will turn out for this group now as times have changed, businesses have closed and history is now in the books. The group has said to try and re-claim territory they once ran and re-unite with fellow organizations they once did business with for years. It's a hard job to muscle your way back into the criminal underworld as things constantly change, power changes hand, and money is constantly moving. If anyone has a shot at getting back into the game with a ruling fist, it is the workings of this crew.

Out of Character

Our goal is to portray the most realistic Irish-American mob scene in Los Santos. By joining this faction you must understand what you are getting into and do some research before diving into such role-play. We will always do our best to help those in need of it, with that being said we want players to role-play proper Irish-Americans and not off the boat characters. If you need some insight on how to role-play, or what we expect from players attempting to get associated with us, you can check out this thread: Role-Playing Modern Irish Mob

You must be given permission to post screen-shots on our faction thread. By posting on this thread and gaining screen-shot permission, that also grants us permission to CK your character if we deem fit. Any questions or concerns can be private messaged to Daniel_Kavanagh. If you want to join the faction Discord, please use this link: https://discord.gg/gdsubUB

Associating Yourself

Joining a faction of such stature isn't easy from the looks of it, but that's what makes it enjoyable as it creates a sense of aspiration to develop your character and get involved. When joining/trying to join, think about your character and how you want to shape them and what your characters attributes are. Upon making a new character, think of things they are good at and what you want them to eventually be good at. If they are good at working with automobiles, finding a legal front to join through might be your best bet. If they are good at pawning stolen goods for people, then offering your services to people you meet in the community/at a pub might be your best option. It all depends on how you develop your character.

When joining through a legal front, this takes time and development as you're trusted to work at a business. You're doing a day-to-day job that is legal, bartender, mechanic, driver, etc. It takes time and development, don't rush things as they aren't meant to be rushed. This is the point of role-play. If you plan on making your character a self-made criminal, who has ties to selling narcotics, robbing people/stealing goods, then act your type. You aren't going to go around telling the world what you do. Make it realistic. Be discrete, and develop accordingly. There's many ways to join, be creative and develop something special. If you need help, or have concerns, ask anyone that is in the faction.

You're essentially trying to prove yourself as an outsider so that people want to bring you in and let you work for them. You're trying to prove you are a good earner, someone who can be used within the criminal underworld so that we can make money as an organization. If you're standing around, not creating role-play or making money, then there's no point in having your character progress.

I've always favored Irish factions the most. Looking forward to seeing the progress.
