I have a question...who's interested in reading about New York’s Irish Mob?

I am not talking about guys like the legendary Vincent (Mad Dog) Coll, or has-beens like Jimmy Coonan and Mickey Featherstone of the 1980s “Westies.”

I’m talking the “true” Irish Mob, the fellas who operated from their headquarters all along Manhattan’s Westside, from the West Village through “Hells Kitchen” to the Upper West Side…The old “Arsenal Gang,” comprised of Irish toughs like Eddie McGrath and “Cockeye” Dunn.

I ask because I'm considering resurrecting a project I started awhile back about the Irish “Mafia” that held a bloody grip over New York and New Jersey for nearly 80 years, from the 1910s up through the 1970s.

Thoughts?....
