"Barry Moore was lured to what Tallant describes as 'probably one of the worst torture events that we know of', an act of prolonged, extreme violence that served as a message to anyone who opposed the Hennessy group or needed a reminder of what they were capable of."
"He had just been freed after being tortured in the Hennessy gang headquarters in Blanchardstown. He was somebody they grew up with - a friend - and, because of certain events, they had become extremely paranoid that there was a rat in the camp."
Barry Moore was tortured by the Hennessy gang, with the act serving as a brutal message to others. He was a friend of the gang members, but paranoia led them to believe he was a traitor. The torture incident, described as one of the worst known, involved extreme violence and branding. The rise and temporary fall of the Hennessy gang is chronicled in a podcast series hosted by Nicola Tallant and Niall Donald, available for subscribers.
