Unlike the Moroccans, Albanians, Assyrians...the Irish never really had a stake in local distribution in Antwerp, but - like a ton of other criminal organizations - Irish groups have definitely used the port of Antwerp to bring in huge amount of cocaine. Kinahan used to have quite a few money laundering points in Antwerp and it wouldn't surprise me if he (and maybe others) still does. There are Irish bars in Antwerp that change owners more frequently than many people change socks.
