The Sullivan Shiners are my faction of individuals dedicated to exploring and maintaining our old Irish/Canadian tradition and history of skillfully delivering a shitkicking with a good stout shillelagh.
Headed by myself J.P. Sullivan V and my brothers, my family based fighting faction traces it’s roots directly to the notorious Shiners of the Ottawa valley. Known for our size, ruthlessness and weapon of choice, my namesake formed and ran the gang of Irish enforcers hired to facilitate the forcible inclusion of the Irish Roman Catholics into the fabric of the unwilling society in the early nineteenth century. Through violence, murder and intimidation they thereby gained their place in the rigorous lumber trade in what is now the capitol of Canada, known then as Bytown.
