A few weeks ago, Nee told the Herald that he???d be very surprised if Bulger turned out to be hiding out in Ireland, as some have conjectured. ???If you are a rat, Ireland is not a very hospitable place.??? ???It???s the worst thing you can be, in any culture, but particularly the Irish, because we have that long history with the British,??? he says. ???We???ve always been done in by informers.
