Who Is Graham Whelan The Wig? His Wikipedia Explored
Graham “the wig” Whelan is a member of the Kinahan gang in Ireland. He was born and raised on Crumlin’s Clonard Road.
In 2000, he was one of three individuals arrested at the Holiday Inn Hotel on Pearse Street for possessing €1.6 million in ecstasy pills and cocaine. At the time, he was 17 years old and informed Garda that he could do ten years in prison “standing on his head.”

After his conviction, he received a six-year term, while Phillip Griffiths received a seven-year sentence. Declan Gavin, the third guy detained, was stabbed to death a week before his trial was about to begin.
As part of the conflict, hitman Gary Bryan was assassinated in 2006.
Whelan and David Byrne were detained in 2007 in connection with this but were eventually freed without prosecution.
In 2011, he relocated to the United Kingdom and became acquainted with Thomas Kavanagh.
