Jim Mansfield Jnr & Marcus Sweeney the Celtic boom buddies who ended up on the wrong side of the law

They were the two faces of Ireland’s Celtic Tiger boom friends who partied hard with pretty models and champagne by the bucket load.
Jim Mansfield Jnr and Marcus Sweeney mixed with high society and graced the celebrity gossip columns but both hid dark secrets that have left them fighting for their reputation.
As Mansfield Jnr tastes freedom for the first time since he was jailed in Portlaoise Prison for perverting the course of justice, and as Sweeney takes to social media after a damaging CAB case saw him linked to the notorious criminal gang the Family, we’re talking with the journalist who has met both and asked them the hard questions.
Nicola Tallant chats to Niall Donald, along with the Sunday Independent’s Niamh Horan, discuss the highs and lows of Ireland’s one time elite playboys and their spectacular falls from grace.

    Mansfield senior was the top boy. He left everyone use his airfield for years .. No one knew a thing. When he died Jr thought he would fill his father's boots but no one would trust him and rightly so..

    Bit of an easy ride for the individuals she describes interviewing. Fair enough but very little critical analysis of the pretensions and delusions these people brazenly espouse.
