For more than two decades, Paul Williams has reported on the growth of organised crime in Ireland.
It has been a turbulent period - which has included the rise of the drug-barons, the brutal murder of Paul's fellow-crime reporter Veronica Guerin, and the current spate of gangland killings.
Over the years, Paul has exposed many of Ireland's major criminals to public scrutiny - and, as a result, he has had his own life threatened on several occasions.
Paul is the author of best-selling crime boss exposés, The General (2003) and The Untouchables (2006). As a crime correspondent with the Sunday World, Williams first broke before other members of the Irish press many news stories on the notorious Martin Cahill (nicknamed "The General"). The General was made into a major award-winning movie directed by John Boorman; the book was also published in the USA and Spain. Williams' other books include Gangland (1998), Evil Empire (2001), Crimelords (2003), Crime Wars (2008), and Badfellas (2011).
Dirty Money: The Story of the Criminal Assets Bureau, a six-part TV series on the history of the Criminal Assets Bureau by Paul Williams, began on January 2008 on TV3; it won Best Documentary at that year's TV Now Awards.
In Paul Williams Investigates—The Battle For The Gas Fields aired on June 2009 on TV3, Williams reported on the Corrib gas controversy.
