Gang boss Liam Byrne’s son Lee has been treating his new girlfriend to a luxurious trip across Ireland.
Byrne, who recently declared his love for the 18-year-old, the daughter of a famous Premier League football star, has been spotted travelling through the country on a romantic trip.
He also brought the teen to Dublin where the couple stayed in one of the city’s best hotels.
In July, Lee posed for photos with the stunning teenager and shared them on his private social media account.
However, the Dubliner protected the identity of the blonde beauty in the post by covering her face with a love heart emoji.
Lee shared photos of the pair enjoying a holiday in the sun.
The 22-year-old Dublin native is the son of notorious Kinahan cartel criminal Liam Byrne who heads the Byrne Organised Crime Group.
He is the nephew of drug dealer David Byrne who was shot dead in the Regency Hotel bloodbath in February 2016.
