CAGED kingpin Thomas ‘Bomber’ Kavanagh has been branded a “two-faced hypocrite” over his decision to give up a cartel arms dump.
The claim was made by a mother in his native Crumlin after it emerged yesterday he had given up the location of 11 weapons to secure a reduced prison term.


Kavanagh, 55, was also labelled a rat by users on social media after details of his offer emerged yesterday at Westminster Magistrates Court in London.
But Kavanagh’s plan backfired after the UK’s National Crime Agency went ahead and charged him with a series of firearms offences.
The mother we spoke to was forced to secure a loan to pay off a €2,000 drug debt her son owed Kavanagh’s associates in the south inner city in the middle of the Kinahan-Hutch feud in 2017.
And she was warned if she went to the Gardai her house would be torched.
