Irregulars is astounding. Kevin McCarthy does for Irish background what Dennis Lehane does for the annals of Boston. Wonderfully created, tense, provocative and oh so highly entertaining. Shaping up to end up being THE SERIES of accessible Irish background. Cries out to end up being filmed.’ – Ken Bruen
