Peter Keating, a 43-year-old Irish prisoner serving a 12-year sentence for directing a criminal organization, admitted to conspiring to possess firearms and ammunition for the Kinahan gang. Keating also pleaded guilty to perverting justice. Jack Kavanagh, 24, pleaded guilty to weapons charges after extradition from Spain. The plot aimed to influence Thomas Kavanagh's sentencing in a drug-smuggling case by leading authorities to a buried weapons stash, but the plan was thwarted by intercepted messages. Thomas Kavanagh was sentenced to six years for orchestrating the plot.
