Dee Coleman
Shankill drug dealer Dee Coleman is facing the chop.
The Lower Shankill pill popper has fallen foul of his UFF bosses who have come under pressure to rein him in as his drug dealing and bully boy behaviour threaten to spiral out of control.
The last straw is said to have been the all-night rave Coleman organised as the eleventh night bonfire was set alight in the estate.
Residents were furious that loud music was pumped across the Lower Shankill from 11pm to seven o’clock on the morning of the Twelfth.
Sources have told us Coleman was openly selling drugs to young people.
Now UDA bosses are set to move against him after coming under sustained pressure from furious residents.
West Belfast brigadier Matt Kincaid has resisted calls to sanction Coleman and C Company boss Mo Courtney but has agreed to convene a ‘disciplinary’ meeting before the end of the month to consider Coleman’s position.
Courtney is believed to be untouchable but despite staying loyal to drug dealing sidekick Coleman will not stand in Kincaid’s way if he is stood down.
Coleman and killer Courtney have flooded the lower Shankill with drugs, for the last 18 months the pair have been making a fortune flogging Ecstasy, blues, mephodrone and cocaine.
Despite public statements that the organisation does not condone drug dealing, Kincaid gets a slice of the profits and in return he has turned a blind eye as Coleman and Courtney racked up their drug dealing operation.
Residents, backed by a number of UDA veterans approached Kincaid was far back as April last year, a few months after Courtney took over as C Company commander from Ebby Irvine who was drummed out in a row over missing money.
Kincaid refused to move against the pair.

Matt Kincaid
It is understood Courtney threatened to go to the police over Kincaid’s alleged involved in the shooting dead of Alan ‘Bucky’ McCullough in 2006 should he try to move against him.
Johnny Adair ally McCullough was persuaded to return to Northern Ireland after fleeing in the face of UDA purge of Adair supporters, only to be taken away on his return by Courtney, shot and buried in a shallow grave on the outskirts of Belfast.
Kincaid is alleged to sanctioned the killing.
The drug trade continued to grow and it is believed the pair were selling E-type drug known as Green Rolex which was responsible for a number of deaths across the Province last year.
During last year’s eleventh night celebrations a teenage girl was sexually assaulted during a party on the lower Shankill.
The 14-year-old girl was subjected to the alleged attack close to the site of a bonfire party organised by killer Courtney and former jailbird Coleman.
In a separate incident Courtney and fellow UDA thug
Sam Hinton stood and watched as Coleman battered another teenage girl in a row over drink.
A crazed Coleman is said to have snapped when it emerged the girl had not bought her drink from him.
The pair were openly selling alcohol to underage drinks and the Sunday World also understands they were selling the green ‘rolex’ pills
Courtney is a hate figure, but is rarely seen in the area, leaving it to trusted lieutenant Coleman to oversee the drugs trade.
Comeback kid Courtney has been accused of dragging the area back to the past, which is exactly what he wants.

Mo Courtney
He’s made it clear that he wants to go back to the ‘gold old days’ when loyalists could make a fortune from drugs.
Residents continued to warn Kincaid that teen beater Coleman – cruelly nicknamed Squity – was out of control. Their fears were confirmed last August when he brutally assaulted the 57-year-old mother of anti-drugs campaigner Tracey Coulter.
Big man Coleman lifted his fists to 57-year-old Agnes Coulter knocking the grandmother out cold after a verbal spat in front of dozens of witnesses on the Shankill Road.
Agnes told the Sunday World how a verbal spat turned nasty after she challenged him over the death of her nephew Neil Orr.
The 24-year-old died in his sleep last July after battling an addiction to prescription drugs which he bought from women Coleman and Courtney.
“We had words and then he punched me in the face,” Agnes (left) told the Sunday World yesterday.
He then pushed her and when her head bounced off the pavement she blacked out.
“He’s a big man, with no b***s,” she said, “what sort of man lifts his fists to a 57- year-old woman. I was no match for him.”
Agnes had been in the Diamond Jubilee bar on the Lower Shankill when she encountered UDA Provost Marshall Coleman.
“He said my daughter (Tracey) was a tramp and when I answered him he hit me.”
Gutless woman beater Coleman ran away as worried onlookers called an ambulance.
The assault was witnessed by Courtney and Shankill Road ‘community worker’ dopey Denis Cunningham. All fled.
Coleman, who was released from prison in 2012 is hopelessly addicted to cocaine, sources have told us he is regularly ‘off his head’.
He is set to be called before a disciplinary meeting in the coming days and is likely to be ordered to clean up his act or be drummed out of the organisation.
Loyalist sources have told us Kincaid is under intense pressure not to give him another chance and to stand him down.
