Other gangland figures participating in this truce were Paul Massey, Damian Noonan, Paul Flannery and apparently Jimmy "the Weed" Donnelly, who was a prominent figure in the Quality Street Gang, another Manchester gang. Noonan was released from prison in 2002 and became head of the Noonan crime family after Damian's death in 2003.
