Arsenal fan Kemp will be delivering his verdict on the performances in the live final of Let it Shine at 18:45 GMT on Saturday on BBC One.
But the Spandau Ballet star has already made his mind up about long-serving Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.
"I think everyone knows where I stand on the Wenger in/out question," Kemp told BBC Sport.
"I have said it openly for the last couple of years that I want him to step down and he has left it too long.
"If he had gone at the end of last season there would have been a few managers to choose from, but if he goes in the summer then there are not many great ones around."
You can make your Premier League predictions now and compare them with those of Lawro and other fans by playing the BBC Sport Predictor game.
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
On FA Cup fifth-round weekend, Lawro got four correct results, with no perfect scores from the eight ties for a total of 40 points.
Lawro was up against ArsenalFan TV's Robbie Lyle, and Sammy, Jack and Ben from the Fulhamish podcast.
He drew with the Fulhamish team, who also got four correct results with no perfect scores, but was beaten by Robbie, who made five correct predictions, including two perfect scores, for 110 points that put him joint-top of the FA Cup leaderboard.
Those scores do not count towards Lawro's total for the season from Premier League fixtures or appear on the guest leaderboard.
All kick-offs 15:00 GMT unless otherwise stated.

Leicester v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)
I did not see Claudio Ranieri's sacking coming and I think it is a really strange time to do it, the day after a game [against Sevilla] in a competition [the Champions League] that they are still in.

At this stage of the season, you would have thought they have done it having lined someone else up, otherwise why do it?
Surely we will not see any headlines along the lines of 'search starts for new Foxes boss' on Friday - so I would expect some news on an appointment soon.
Why has it happened? Ranieri has made mistakes and probably kept faith with people who helped Leicester win the title last season for too long, but I have to say he seems like he has been let down by his players.
I made my original prediction for this game before Ranieri's exit and, although I have not changed the score, the situation makes it more difficult for Liverpool.
There is no doubt there will be more of a unified effort from the Leicester team, whether their new manager is in place or not. It always happens.
I still think Liverpool will win, if they play like they did against Tottenham. It suits the Reds when they press teams all over the pitch, and that is definitely the way forward for them.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Kemp's prediction: Haven't Leicester been just awful this season? At the end of last season, when they had just picked up the Premier League trophy, my son told me he had put a bet on that they were going to go down this season. I looked at him and said: 'You are joking, where are you getting that one from?" He said, 'you wait and see, they are going to fall apart' - and where are they now? 0-1
Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
Lawro's best score: 140 points (week 22 v James McAvoy)
Lawro's worst score: 30 points (week four v Dave Bautista)


A lifeboat crew and coastguard personnel have made extensive searches of the Cromarty Firth following a report of red distress flare.

Members of RNLI Invergordon had suspected the Perseid meteor shower was to blame for the call-out at 02:05.
But the theory was ruled out after two witnesses described what looked like a flare falling from the sky.
Nothing was found in the searches and the lifeboat volunteers were stood down by about 04:15.
The meteor shower reached the peak of its activity overnight.


Rank and file officers say they warned Humberside Police of their "significant concerns" about a major overhaul of its operating model and shift patterns.

Humberside Police Federation spoke out in the same week the force was branded "inadequate" at keeping people safe and reducing crime.
Chairman Paul Yeomans said the changes resulted in "substantial difficulties".
He added that a sudden rather than gradual change to the "One Force" model had led to a "very difficult period".
Asked about the federation's warning, Humberside's Chief Constable Justine Curran said "there are always lessons to be learned".
In April, Humberside Police scrapped its geographical divisions in favour of four force-wide departments and introduced new shift patterns.
An inspection by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary carried out in June said that "due to serious difficulties in implementing the new operating model [the force] cannot be judged any higher than inadequate".
It highlighted a lack of skilled staff in the force's command hub - which is tasked with risk-assessing calls from the public - weak workforce planning and increased workload among the issues.
Mr Yeomans said: "We advised the force quite robustly that we had significant concerns, however, the force went live with the model and the new shift pattern and, as has been borne out in the report, there were some substantial difficulties...in delivering the quality of service to the public.
"I can't completely blame the force, this is all down to the corporate spending review and the draconian cuts placed on policing.
"If you change everything at once there are always bumps in the road and there are always teething problems and for us, quite quickly, some of those problems became very significant."
He said it was only "through the goodwill of our members that the force were able to get through a very difficult period".
However, he said there had been "significant improvements" since the inspection.
Chief Constable Curran said: "I am confident the One Force model is right for us and will deliver the efficiencies and service levels we expect.
"Any major change brings with it challenges and difficulties and we were prepared for this."


England fly-half George Ford has praised the impact of Jonny Wilkinson after the World Cup winner put on training sessions for the team.

Ford and his fellow 10 Owen Farrell, who will play alongside him at inside centre against Scotland, have been working with Wilkinson at England's training headquarters in the build-up to Saturday's Six Nations opener.
"To have someone like him come in and add something a little bit different for us as 10s has been brilliant. We've learned a lot from him," said Ford.
"He's just a great guy to have around and do different things with."
Wilkinson, England's record points scorer, retired from rugby in 2014 after winning 91 caps for his country.
He was brought into the England camp after an apparent chance meeting with new head coach Eddie Jones in a supermarket.
Ford said: "We turned up one night and Jonny had been there already, on the training centre, kicking balls. He looked like he'd been there a while, and he's still got it.
"His work ethic was unbelievable, probably the best that there's ever been. It does rub off on you, but it's the type of practice he does, rather than the time he spends doing it.
"It's not whether you're out there for two hours, it's what you get out of it, and that's what he's good at, coming up with little practices. Owen might take one thing away from it and I might take another."
Ford used to cadge kicking lessons from Wilkinson as a child, when he would come into England training camps with his father Mike, who was defence coach under Martin Johnson.
"We come up with little skill games, games within games, coming out of the session feeling better about yourself and what you're trying to achieve," said the 22-year-old.
"Jonny's very good at breaking things down, not making everything too outcome-based but coming out feeling good.
"He spoke to us about the influence we could have on the game with our composure and how we go about ourselves - he's played in so many of these games, and to have a chat with him about that was great for me and Owen."
Ford and Farrell are long-time friends and rivals for England's number 10 shirt, with no decision apparently yet made on who will take place-kicking duties against Scotland.
As children, the two sons of rugby league legends would compete against each other when Wigan's St Patrick's school (Farrell) met Halifax's Rishworth School (Ford).
When their fathers moved south to coach and play for Saracens, they shared a school in St George's in Harpenden and lived 10 metres apart on the same Hertfordshire street.
Ford would sometimes do Farrell's homework so the pair could spend longer practising, and he believes those bonds will help the pair at Murrayfield.
"I'm really excited about it," said Ford. "We're two guys who think about the game pretty similar, and we're both used to playing 10 so we can help each other out in terms of managing the game, seeing where the space is and trying to get to that space.
"The understanding's there, and we've played together in age groups many many times. Owen's a great guy to play with in terms of his energy and communication so having him outside me will help me as a 10."
Farrell, meanwhile, is determined to rekindle the enthusiasm of his nation's support after the disappointment of England's World Cup exit at the group stage.
He said: "Hopefully we can put in a performance to get them behind us.
"We're excited about getting out there - I don't know if they're excited about seeing us out there or not, but hopefully after this weekend there'll be something positive to talk about.
"Everyone's talking about style and running rugby, but rugby's about making decisions - if everything went the way you thought it was going to go, everyone would play this brilliant expansive game.
"Rugby gives you different pictures every time you look up, and what's important is that we make as many correct decisions as we can."


Improved weather conditions have seen two mass ascents at this year's Bristol International Balloon Fiesta.

The first on Saturday evening saw a total of 71 balloons take off, and earlier on Sunday, some 115 took part.
Planned ascents on Thursday and Friday had to be cancelled due to gusty conditions.
Last year's parking problems saw the event close its gates for the first time. This time, car park spaces had to be pre-booked.
Saturday saw 90-minute long shuttle bus delays while a closed bridge at the Cumberland basin also caused traffic problems.
However, thousands of people turned up to watch the evening nightglow and fireworks display.
A final mass ascent is expected at 18:00 BST to round off the festival which closes at 20:30 BST


A scavenging kitten has been saved after getting stuck in the drainage duct of an industrial bin.

The frightened feline is back on its paws thanks to a delicate rescue by firefighters and the RSPCA.
A passer-by spotted the kitten stuck in the bin in Hailes Park Close, Wolverhampton.
A fireman got into the bin to hold the kitten, while a plastic collar, smothered in lubricant, was used to ease its head back through the duct.
The five-week-old stray emerged unscathed and was named Dusty by the RSPCA.
RSPCA inspector Steve Morrall said: "When I arrived, I saw the head of the kitten poking out from this bin - it was so unusual and I have never seen anything like it before.
For more on this story and others Birmingham and Black Country
"It is very likely she was looking for food in the bin, but panicked when the bin was being emptied and got herself stuck.
"The kitten was so stuck that it became obvious I would need extra assistance from West Midlands Fire Service. They were absolutely brilliant."
Mr Morrall said: "It was a very delicate operation and we knew we had to be extra careful as it could have gone seriously wrong.
"We do not know how long the kitten was there for and she was understandably distressed.
"A vet was also on the scene to ensure that the kitten could be sedated if required."
Dusty was given a full check-up at a vets, where - apart from a low temperature - she was given a clean bill of health.


World number two Angelique Kerber lost 7-5 6-1 to Zheng Saisai in the second round of the Qatar Open, her first singles tournament since winning the Australian Open.

Top-seed Kerber, 29, who also lost to Belinda Bencic at the Fed Cup earlier this month, hit 38 unforced errors as the world number 73 dominated.
"I was not feeling my game and not finding my rhythm," German Kerber said.
China's Zheng plays Canadian Eugenie Bouchard next.
Third-seed Agnieszka Radwanska and fifth-seed Petra Kvitova also progressed to the third round.
After the match, Kerber revealed that her plan to have her Australian Open trophy - her first piece of Grand Slam silverware - sent to her via recorded delivery had backfired.
She still has not been reunited with the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup after opting not to take the 10kg trophy in her hand luggage on the flight home from Australia.
"It's stuck in Warsaw," she said. "But I hope to get it soon and I'm really looking forward to it."


Walsall secured a play-off place and narrowed the gap on second-placed Burton Albion to three points as they beat League One strugglers Shrewsbury.

The Saddlers led 2-0 at half-time after Kieron Morris' low 11th-minute right-foot shot was followed by a deflected strike from Rico Henry.
Former Saddlers defender Mat Sadler headed home Andy Mangan's cross on the hour to pull one back.
But, despite an improved second-half display, Town remain at risk.
With two matches left, they could still be overhauled by two of the bottom four clubs - Blackpool and Doncaster Rovers.
Saddlers boss gets right reaction
Walsall interim boss Jon Whitney made four changes following Saturday's 4-0 defeat at Bradford City, the Saddlers' biggest of the season, dropping Liam Kinsella, Andy Taylor, Sam Mantom and Jordy Hiwula.
It had the right effect in a much improved first-half display capped by two goals - both rewards for surging runs.
Morris glided along the edge of the box before turning to plant a low right-foot shot into Jayson Leutwiler's bottom-right corner.
His third goal of the season - and second in three games - was followed on the stroke of half-time by Henry's jinking run inside from the left flank, before his shot took a big deflection and bobbled over the line beyond the despairing Leutwiler. It was also his third goal of the season but his first since September.
After Sadler headed powerfully home from Mangan's superb hanging right-wing cross, substitute Ian Black's deflected shot then looped off Henry onto the top of the bar - but Shrewsbury got no nearer
The final shake-up
In the battle for the second automatic promotion place, Burton are up next at home to faltering Gillingham, before Walsall host Fleetwood in a televised lunchtime game on Bank Holiday Monday.
On the final day, the Saddlers are at Port Vale, while Burton are at relegation battlers Doncaster.
Shrewsbury's final two matches are at home to managerless Peterborough this Saturday before a final-day trip to Swindon.
Walsall boss Jon Whitney told BBC WM:

"It got a bit tense but we deserved to win overall. These players can handle pressure. I believe in them.
"We were so disappointed on Saturday but we're resilient. We showed character and we're still in with a chance of automatic promotion.
"It would have been a lot easier for Burton if we'd got beat tonight, but we've made it a bit more nervy for them now."
Shrewsbury manager Micky Mellon told BBC Radio Shropshire:
"I was disappointed with the first-half performance but I take responsibility for that. I pick the shape and the personnel.
"We need to manage the fuel tanks inside their heads. A few looked a bit chuggy but the big positive on the night was the energy we added. The second half was miles better.
"We looked a real threat after the break and we can count ourselves a little unlucky not to get something. But we move on now and get the lads ready for a massive game on Saturday."


Middlesbrough have signed forward Martin Braithwaite from French Ligue 1 side Toulouse on a four-year contract.

Denmark international Braithwaite, 26, has played 16 times for the national team, and scored 12 goals in 37 games for Toulouse last season.
He will join up with his new team-mates in Portugal, where Boro are on a pre-season training camp, on Friday.
The Teessiders have already signed Jonny Howson and Cyrus Christie from Norwich and Derby respectively.

National League club Hartlepool United have appointed defender Matthew Bates to new manager Craig Harrison's backroom staff as first-team coach.

Bates will remain registered as a player but will focus on coaching and also take charge of the reserve team.
He was named interim manager for the final two games of last season but Pools failed to avoid relegation.
Harrison, who took over last month, confirmed he also plans to name an assistant manager in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, striker Rhys Oates has signed a new undisclosed-length deal at the club.
The 22-year-old joined from Barnsley in 2015 and has scored eight times in 73 appearances since.


A cameraman has been speaking of the moment he realised he owned footage of David Bowie on Top of the Pops which was thought to be lost.

John Henshall, 69, from Stanford-in-the-Vale, Oxfordshire, retained a copy of Bowie performing Jean Genie in 1973.
He said: "I just couldn't believe that I was the only one with it. I just thought you wouldn't be mad enough to wipe a tape like that."
It was unveiled on Sunday at an event held by the British Film Institute.
The annual event, Missing Believed Wiped, was the first time the footage had been seen since January 1973.
Mr Henshall said he only kept it because he wanted it for his showreel.
In the footage he used Telefex Fisheye lenses which he had designed himself. He also ended up in the background of one of the shots.
After the recording he asked producers for a personal copy on 2in (5cm) broadcast videotape.
Mr Henshall said: "I didn't realise that it had been wiped by the BBC.
"They'd been looking for it for years, hoping that somebody had maybe pointed an 8mm home movie camera at the screen, because there was no VHS in those days.
"I didn't realise that anybody wanted it. I'd just had it because it was my Fisheye.
"I had loads of ideas for optical effects back then."
Bowie's performance of Jean Genie was recorded on 3 January 1973 and transmitted the following day for the first and only time.
After realising he had a "rarer than rare" piece of television history, Mr Henshall went to Westpoint Television in London to view the footage.
"The hairs stood up on the back of my neck," he said.
"There it was in full broadcast quality. Amazing."
After his time with Top of the Pops, Mr Henshall went on to film professional music videos for Blondie, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Kate Bush, Spandau Ballet, Roxy Music and Queen.
Among other items recovered and shown at Sunday's event were two missing episodes of Doctor Who, a television play by Dennis Potter called Emergency Ward 9 and a comedy sketch featuring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.
The first transmission of Jean Genie since 1973 will be in a BBC4 documentary, Tales of Television Centre, to be broadcast in the new year.


England reached the semi-finals of the European Under-21 Championship for the first time since 2009 after comfortably beating 10-man Poland to finish top of Group A.

Demarai Gray opened the scoring early on with a long-range effort before substitute Jacob Murphy tapped in.
Poland rarely threatened and had defender Jan Bednarek sent off late on for tripping Tammy Abraham in the box.
Lewis Baker converted the resultant penalty to complete the win.
The victory against the hosts means Aidy Boothroyd's side top the standings with seven points.
Relive England's win against Poland
England can now look forward to a semi-final at the Stadion Miejski in Tychy on Tuesday, 27 June [17:00 BST] although they will not know who they will face until the completion of the group stage on Saturday.
They will play either Portugal from Group B or Germany, Italy or the Czech Republic from Group C.
There are only three groups at the tournament - with the three winners each progressing along with the best-placed runners up.  Who England play depends on who claims the spot as the best runner-up.
At the moment Slovakia, who finished second in Group A behind England with six points and a goal difference of +3, are in a strong position to claim it.
If that happens then England will play the winner of Group C, which with one round of games left to play is topped by Germany with six points.
However, if Slovakia do not claim that place then England's last-four opponents will be either Portugal (who are the only team in Group B that could finish in a better position than Slovakia) or Germany, Italy or the Czech Republic (who could all finish in second place with a better record than Slovakia) in Group C.
England's first 135 minutes of football at the tournament did nothing to suggest they were capable of avoiding a third successive group-stage exit.
They were unadventurous and ponderous in the opener against Sweden, managing just a single shot on target, and were equally poor for the first 45 minutes of their second game against Slovakia, in which they trailed 1-0 at the break.
However, they showed grit and determination to fight back and win that game 2-1, putting them in control of their own destiny, and they came out fighting in an intimidating atmosphere against Poland.
Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford once again showed why Everton paid Sunderland £30m for his services with a confident and assured display, while the Leicester pair of Ben Chilwell and Gray were also excellent.
Chilwell dominated down the left, snubbing out Poland attacks while getting forward quickly to create chances, and it was from his excellent pass that Gray scored the opener.
But in truth there were standout performances all over the pitch for England.
Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse provided a threat from set-pieces that is so often lacking at senior level, while Alfie Mawson was a dominant presence in defence as well as offering an aerial threat in attack.
The Swansea defender was only denied adding his name to the scoresheet by an excellent Jakub Wrabel save.
After a slow start it appears England are finding their form just at the right time.

It has been a good summer of major tournament football so far for England.
They reached the final of the European Under-17 Championship before losing to Spain on penalties.#
England then claimed their biggest international title since 1966 when their Under-20 side won the World Cup earlier this month, and now the Under-21s are now just two wins away from lifting another major trophy.
However, Spain have been the standout team at the tournament so far. They were the only team to secure their place in the semi-finals with a game to spare and boast some outstanding talent.
Saul Niguez, an Atletico Madrid regular and capped three times by the Spanish senior side, scored a memorable overhead kick in a 5-0 defeat of Macedonia, with Real Madrid's Marco Asensio scoring a hat-trick in that game.
Germany have also won their two games so far and have the tournament's most formidable defence - they are the only team yet to concede a goal.
However, if England perform like they did against Poland then they have every chance of emulating their Under-20 counterparts.
England Under-20 boss Paul Simpson, who was co-commentator on the game for BBC Radio 5 live:
"That was a top, top performance from the first whistle. They did everything manager Aidy Boothroyd would have wanted. It wasn't done by lumping it forwards, it was controlled possession while also being a real threat from set-pieces.
"This performance puts a marker down and shows what we are all about - we are not just here to make up the numbers, we are into the semi-final. And we can go on and get even stronger."
England Under-21s boss Aidy Boothroyd: "It's a great moment. After the first game, which was a draw, it was doom and gloom. But we have a good group here and got the two wins that we needed. It was a high-pressure game, if we hadn't won then we would be out.
"We carried out the game plan to a T. We controlled the game and played really well. There were a few nervy moments.
"Demarai Gray was terrific. He worked his socks off. It is a squad game and one of the hardest things is keeping the lads who aren't playing motivated. But it is a good group, I'm really pleased."

Byron Harrison scored a second-half hat-trick as Barrow boosted their promotion bid with a crushing victory over 10-man Eastleigh.

The decisive moment of the match arrived immediately after half-time when, with the game goalless, Eastleigh captain Ryan Cresswell conceded a penalty and was sent off for a foul on Richie Bennett.
Bluebirds' leading scorer Harrison slotted home the resulting spot-kick, and there was no way back for Barrow's fellow promotion hopefuls Eastleigh after that.
Full-back Nick Wilmer-Anderton fired into the top corner to make it 2-0 before Harrison wrapped up the win, and his hat-trick, with contrasting headers in the final 15 minutes - one from less than a yard after Bennett had hit the bar, and the second a towering stoppage-time effort.
Barrow, now unbeaten in 14 matches, also enjoyed the better of the first half with Bennett hitting the bar again with a brilliant looping shot.
That effort came during nine minutes of first-half stoppage time, a result of the treatment needed by Eastleigh goalkeeper Ryan Clarke after he suffered a facial injury in making a superb double save early on.

Lives will be put at risk because of the pressure on Holyhead Coastguard to cover for another station which is short-staffed, a union has claimed.

The Public and Commercial Services union says a "staff crisis" in Liverpool means Holyhead will sometimes cover from mid Wales to Scotland.
The UK government is closing eight coastguard stations, including Liverpool, by 2015.
It says changes are necessary to create a 21st Century service.
But the PCS union argues that resources are stretched as talented and experienced staff are becoming disillusioned with the job, and leaving the service.
Keith Roberts, PCS branch secretary at Holyhead Coastguard, warned that lives could be put at risk.
He said that staff levels in Liverpool would be reduced to eight by the summer. It should be 23.
It means Holyhead Coastguard - which has been "paired" with Liverpool under the changes - will be called on to cover an area from Cardigan Bay to the south west coast of Scotland.
"There will be eight watchkeepers [in Liverpool] available, which is the normal minimum to cover a 24 hours period during the summer months," he said.
"So there will be long periods when Holyhead Coastguard will be responsible to cover the UK Irish Sea coast from the the middle of Cardigan Bay to the Mull of Galloway on the southwest Scottish coast plus waters around the Isle of Man."
He said Holyhead too was short staffed, with 18 watchkeepers, when there should be 23.
The union said the Maritime and Coastguard Agency needed to put urgent measures in place to address the "staffing crisis," including honouring its promises on upgrading jobs to improve pay.
PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: "We and others have warned time and again that these closures would put lives at risk. The government must act immediately to address this dangerous decline."
Eight UK coastguard centres will be closed, with a loss of 159 jobs, under changes which the UK government has said are necessary.
The Swansea, Liverpool, Clyde, Portland, Yarmouth, Brixham and Thames coastguard stations will close.
Forth coastguard station in Scotland has already closed as a consequence of the plans.
The UK government has said the current system comprised "dispersed centres with no network of national integration" and therefore had "very limited resilience in the event of high demand or technical problems".
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said where coastguard stations were experiencing reduced staffing levels, it was bringing in existing "pairing" arrangements and other support measures as necessary to maintain operations.
"One of the key outcomes from the modernisation of HM Coastguard will be more rewarding coastguard jobs, with additional responsibilities and the appropriate pay to match; the Government remains fully committed to achieving this," it added in a statement.
"These are new roles that attract a different rate of pay, and staff will need to apply for these."
A report last December by a committee of MPs said that coastguards have been left "confused and disillusioned" by the changes to their service.
The Transport Committee said that too many coastguards were "drifting out" with "a risk that talent and expertise will haemorrhage".


Nigerian MPs have summoned the finance minister and central bank (CBN) governor to brief them on new proposals to ease the country's economic crisis.

It comes after the CBN announced plans to introduce "greater flexibility" into the foreign exchange market, a move which would allow the naira to devalue.
President Muhammadu Buhari has consistently opposed its devaluation.
The economy shrank in the first quarter of 2016, with the oil-producing nation hit by the fall in commodity prices.
Nigeria is Africa's biggest economy and most populous nation.
CBN governor Godwin Emefiele warned of Nigeria's "impending recession" in a statement announcing the policy shift on Tuesday.
The bank is expected to maintain some level of control over the currency "for funding critical transactions".
He did not give details about the changes, which are expected to be announced in the next few days.
The Nigerian senate voted on Wednesday to invite Mr Emefiele and Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun for a briefing on "policies adopted to salvage the current economic situation", although no date was set for their appearance.
The authorities have kept the official rate at around 200 naira to the US dollar, but the black market rate is closer to 350 naira.
In an effort to sustain the policy, the government imposed currency restrictions, and halted the importation of certain goods in order to stop dollars leaving the country.
Some analysts have blamed the policy for causing a shortage in foreign exchange, which in turn prevented fuel importers from buying supplies.
The fuel crisis has eased since the government introduced a range of measures earlier this month, including removing a subsidy and allowing importers to buy US dollars on the black market.


Scotland won a record number of investments from overseas in 2016, although growth was substantially lower than the previous year.

There were 122 foreign direct investment deals done over the course of last year, up from 119 in 2015.
The EY Scotland Attractiveness Survey showed Scotland was the second most popular part of the UK to invest in behind London.
This is the fifth year in a row that the country has been in that position.
However, Scotland won a smaller share of overseas investment in 2016 than previously, with 10.7% of deals coming north of the border compared with 11.2% in 2015.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Scotland grew by 2.5% in 2016 - lower than the 7% increase recorded across the UK for that year and significantly down from 2015 when investment in Scotland grew by 51%.
Mark Harvey, EY's senior partner in Scotland, said a "halo effect" from events such as the Commonwealth Games and the Ryder Cup may have resulted in "abnormally high" levels of investment in 2015.
Scotland's share of the jobs created from overseas investment last year was half what it was in 2015, with 6% of UK posts created by foreign companies' investment in Scotland compared with 12.7% in 2015.
Deals involving overseas firms created fewer jobs per project, with the average falling from 45 positions in 2015 to 24 the following year.
Three Scottish cities were in the UK's top 10 for attracting FDI in 2016, according to the research, with Glasgow fifth after a 27% increase in the number of such projects in 2016.
Edinburgh fell three places in the list to sixth but Aberdeen went from 10th to seventh place.
Mr Harvey said: "Scotland's attractiveness in the eyes of investors is more in line with previous years.
"In 2015 it was perhaps abnormally high as a result of the 'halo effect' from high-profile events held in 2014, including the Commonwealth Games and Ryder Cup.
"Insight from investors indicates there may be a shift towards more London-centric investment in the future, which suggests Scotland needs to take action to ensure it secures a healthy share of FDI into the UK.
"Scotland has firmly secured its position as an attractive destination for FDI in the UK, with a further increase of projects from the record-breaking surge of inward investment in 2015."
Economy Secretary Keith Brown said: "For the second year in a row we have attracted more projects than ever before - with 2016 up 2.5% on 2015's previous record - and Scotland has been the top UK region outside London in every one of the past five years.
"We enjoy resources few nations can match, including one of the most highly-educated work-forces in Europe, a long-standing reputation for innovation and an internationally-regarded brand.
"Today's attractiveness survey indicates these assets continue to be recognised on the world stage, with a substantial number of projects from the US, France and Germany.
"In fact, more than one in 50 of the investment projects across the whole of Europe are located in Scotland."


China has said that 13 North Korean restaurant workers who defected to South Korea last week had been working in China and had left legally.

In a rare comment on such issues, a foreign ministry spokesman said the 13 had the right documents to exit China.
China tends to view North Koreans who escape across its border as illegal economic migrants and sends them back.
The group are now in South Korea, which provides an aid and adjustment package for all North Koreans who defect.
South Korea announced the defection on Friday, saying the size of the group was "unprecedented".
It gave no details of where they had been working nor of how they had travelled to Seoul, but said they had grown disillusioned with North Korea.
It is unusual for China and South Korea to make public comments on defections.
But Chinese spokesman Lu Kang told a routine news briefing on Monday that 13 North Koreans had been "found exiting the Chinese border with valid passports" on 6 April.
He said it was important to note that unlike many defectors, they all had valid identity documents and had entered and exited legally.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency cited unnamed sources as saying the restaurant was in Ningbo, in China's north-eastern province of Zhejiang.
Various media reports had previously linked the case to the recent closure of a North Korean restaurant in Danang, Vietnam.
Analysis by Stephen Evans, BBC News, Seoul
North Korea does not publicise how its restaurants outside the country operate but information can be gleaned by visitors and reports of previous defections.
South Korean media say most of these restaurants are in China and run by local entrepreneurs, with the staff provided by Pyongyang. One opened and closed and re-opened in Amsterdam. North Korea denied it wanted to open one in Scotland.
The restaurants serve traditional North Korean food and often have stylised pictures of picturesque North Korean mountain scenes but are devoid of overt propaganda.
It is not clear what the staff are paid nor what they are allowed to keep after remitting money to Pyongyang.
There have been previous defections from restaurants. In 2007, a restaurant in China was closed after a female employee was caught trying to defect.
One mystery with the latest defections: why has China been so accommodating? It says the defectors had legitimate papers so there was no need to prevent them leaving the country but that would have been true in the past too.
Is it a sign that China really does want to show its displeasure at Pyongyang where it hurts: in the coffers filled by remittances from North Korea's foreign workers?
Some 29,000 North Koreans have fled the country since the Koreas were divided at the end of the war in the 1950s, many of them crossing the border into China.
China's policy of detaining and returning defectors to North Korea, where they are likely to face torture or imprisonment, has often been criticised as a breach of its responsibilities under the refugee convention.
On Monday, South Korea announced that a senior colonel who worked in North Korean intelligence-gathering had also defected last year.
He is believed to be one of the most senior officials ever to leave.
North Korea runs some 130 restaurants in other countries. The staff are usually chosen for their loyalty to the North Korean leadership.
The restaurants provide a much-needed source of income for North Korea but South Korea says economic reasons and tightened international sanctions against the North mean many of the businesses are struggling.


The Scottish Gamekeepers Association has raised concerns about whether sea eagles could differentiate between children and their natural prey.

The comment follows an incident where a senior clergyman was injured by a young eagle as he tried to scare it away after it attacked one of his geese.
The SGA has called for a public inquiry into the impact of the reintroduction of the birds on the east coast.
RSPB Scotland has described the small child claim as "alarmist nonsense".
The Scottish government said it was not aware of any attacks by sea eagles on children in other countries and did not think a public inquiry was necessary.
In a letter to the Scottish government, the SGA warned that the attack on the Very Reverend Hunter Farquharson in Abernethy, in Perthshire, could be the first of many.
The association has asked for the formulation of an "exit strategy" if the sea eagles turn out to have an adverse effect on social, economic or leisure activities.
In the letter, the SGA said: "These creatures are being released into what is a comparatively densely populated area so they will come into contact with humans on a daily basis.
"That will instil habituated behaviour and remove what should be a healthy fear of humans.
"There are reports of buzzards which have obviously undergone this desensitisation and this has resulted in them attacking people. This could pose a serious threat in the future.
"Will these very large creatures differentiate between a small child and more natural quarry?"
The Perth-based SGA represents gamekeepers, stalkers, ghillies, wildlife managers and rangers.
Association committee member Bert Burnett said the group did not have a problem with sea eagles on Scotland's west coast.
He said: "As far as we are concerned these sea eagles seem to be doing fine and not posing a threat."
However, Mr Burnett said more consultation was needed on the release of the birds on the east coast.
He added: "Some might think this is gamekeepers making a fuss for some obscure reason.
"That's not the case. It is a genuine concern and it is a concern felt by other people out there other than gamekeepers."
On the micro blogging website Twitter, RSPB Scotland tweeted: "Alarmist nonsense from the SGA.
"Sea eagle could soon be eating small children. Surely ScotGov won't take this seriously."
A spokesman for RSPB Scotland said the Perthshire incident was unfortunate and regrettable but that the bird had reacted as other wild animals might do when cornered.
He said the SGA claim about eagles, the UK's largest bird of prey, targeting small children as ridiculous.
With a wing span of 8ft, the white-tailed sea eagle is the UK's largest bird of prey.
It was completely wiped out in Britain in the early 20th Century and only returned when a reintroduction programme began on the island of Rum in 1975.
Mull, Wester Ross and Skye also now have established populations.
In August this year, a new batch of 16 young sea eagles were released in Fife.
A Scottish government said the raptors were widespread in many parts of Europe, including densely populated areas.
A spokeswoman said: "We are not aware of any attacks by sea eagles on children in those countries."
She added: "We do not think a public inquiry is necessary.
"The National Species Reintroduction Forum, chaired by Scottish Natural Heritage and which includes the Scottish Gamekeepers Association, considers all matters relating to reintroduced species, including sea eagles."


An inquest has been told a simple error may have led to the death of a motorcyclist on a railway line.

Paul Martin, 37, from Stroud, Gloucestershire, was killed at the Frampton Mansell level crossing in May.
John Wilson, from British Transport Police, told the court Mr Martin and two other riders had failed to contact signallers who would have told them of the approaching train.
A verdict of accidental death was recorded by coroner Katy Skerrett.
She said Mr Martin had multiple injuries consistent with being hit by a train.
But Mr Wilson told the court he was satisfied the train driver had done everything he could to avoid the collision.


The chief inspector of Borders and Immigration has criticised the main immigration public inquiries office in Scotland over delays in applications.

A new report raises concerns about how cases are handled at the Glasgow centre.
It suggests people making applications face delays in their cases being dealt with.
And those who have been refused are staying on longer in the UK because they are not being notified of rulings.
Chief inspector John Vine's report highlights serious worries around checks and decision-making.
It says the absence of management assurance at the office in Brand Street, Glasgow, is "unacceptable".
The report is based on an inspection carried out in December last year.
It highlighted a small backlog in cases and concerns that during recent changes "no quality assurance of decisions took place."
Mr Vine said: "I was pleased to find that customer service provision in Glasgow was good.
"However, as with other recent inspections, I found an absence of management assurance to provide confidence that the decisions being made were reasonable. This is not acceptable.
"The introduction of a new working model had been poorly implemented.
"Staff were adversely affected by this change, either because resources were not aligned correctly to deliver an efficient and effective service or because they had not been fully trained to undertake new responsibilities.
"This resulted in some applicants waiting many months for a decision, even though it had been decided that their applications would be refused."
The Home Office said they were pleased that the report "recognises the high levels of customer care provided."
A spokesman added : "We are committed to providing customers with the best possible experience, which is why we have also launched an extensive training programme for all our caseworkers and have undertaken a new recruitment programme.
"Both of these will ensure that service delivery continues to improve.
"We have already taken steps to address the concerns raised in this report and will continue to strive for excellence in this area."
A second report published by the chief inspector raises serious concerns about failures to tackle the growing problem of sham marriage.
It says there is no clear strategy across all Home Office departments to tackle the issue.
The report found the majority of decisions to refuse residence cards were reasonable and that there was an efficient process for identifying counterfeit documents.
However, it also criticised the fact that in some cases suspicions around sham weddings were not appropriately scrutinised.
It highlighted "significant" problems with non-European citizens trying to enter the UK by partnering EU citizens in sham marriages.
And that even individuals found to be using such deception were not generally prosecuted.
Mr Vine said: "I remain concerned about the general lack of prosecution and sanction against individuals found to have abused the system.
"If the Home Office does not act decisively to identify and tackle these abuses, many of the individuals involved may go on to obtain settlement in the UK on the basis of relationships that are not genuine."


Henry Candy's 9-2 favourite Limato claimed the coveted July Cup over six furlongs at Newmarket.

The four-year-old gelding, ridden by Harry Bentley, surged clear and despite veering right late on, won by two lengths for a first Group One success.
Suedois (25-1) finished second, beating 7-1 shot Quiet Reflection into third by a head.
Frankie Dettori, bidding for his first July Cup, was seventh of 18 runners on Magical Memory on good to firm ground.
Limato won his first five races over six furlongs but was only fourth of 12 over a mile in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury in May, though Candy suggested there could be a return to that longer distance for the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood this month.
"It would be rather fun if he ran in the Sussex," the trainer said." I wouldn't rule it out totally - it's a thought.
"I thought he ran a cracking race in the Lockinge and I thought he settled very well.
"My horses weren't right at the time and I thought he got the mile that day. I've been training him pretty much to stay."
BBC Racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
"The 2016 July Cup was billed as an outstanding staging of the historic Group One sprint with no horse absent that you would have wanted to see, so for Limato to drop down from a mile to win by two lengths in a very fast time - one minute, 9.97 seconds - and despite drifting off a straight line late on, is outstanding.
"The horse's veteran trainer Henry Candy famously keeps his feet on the ground, and it's quite a compliment that he indicated a crack at Guineas winners Galileo Gold and The Gurkha in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood is now a possibility."

Home-grown comedies, talk shows and Spanish-language soaps are staple fare on local TV stations. The multichannel offerings of cable TV are widely available.
News and talk and Spanish-language pop music are among the most popular radio formats.

Parents might worry about the day when their children leave home - but they might worry even more if they kept coming back.

Not just for a few recuperative months now and then - but for years and years, into their mid-30s.
There are some remarkable figures from the United States showing how much this has become the rule rather than the exception. This really is generation failure-to-launch.
For the first time, in US records going back to the 1880s, people aged between 18 to 34 are more likely to be living with their parents than being married or co-habiting with a partner.
It's a trend that is particularly affecting men, who now seem the most reluctant to close the door on their teenage bedroom.
Since 1880 - and until these latest figures for 2014 - the most common pattern has always been for young adults to set up their own household with someone else.
Now these home-makers have been narrowly overtaken by those staying at home, with an analysis by the Pew Research Group showing more than 32% are sticking with their parents.
We've gone from the boomers to the boomerangers.
There are also rising numbers living in various types of shared accommodation and more than ever are living alone.
The most striking generational shift is the huge decline in the numbers of young people moving out to get married or live with a partner.
In 1960, 62% of these young adults had set up their own household with a partner by the age of 34. In 2014, that had fallen to less than 32%.
The stay-at-home trend is also happening in the UK, with insurance firm Aviva forecasting that the numbers of adult children living with their parents, up to the age of 34, will increase by a third to 3.8 million in the next decade.
So what is causing this great shift in behaviour?
The US researchers identify two big factors: love and money.
People are getting married and settling down later in life, having children at a later age, buying their first home later - and all this delays the point of departure from the family home.
There are also more young people who remain living alone. In 1960, only 5% of young adults were in a single-person household and this has risen almost threefold to 14% by 2014.
The Pew researchers also say there are more single people - and young adults not in relationships are less likely to move out.
But there is no escaping the financial pressures.
Living independently means having enough money to rent or buy. And this generation has faced a toxic combination of high house prices, high rent, insecure jobs and stagnant wages.
In real terms, when inflation is taken into account, the typical earnings of a young man fell by 34% between 2000 and 2014.
There are parallels with wage stagnation in the UK, where official figures for graduate earnings showed that typical salaries of Â£24,000 for young graduates in 2008 had not risen at all by 2015.
But graduates are relatively well off and the US figures show that the biggest stay-at-homes are those with the least spending power.
The most likely to have moved out and set up their own homes are white, female and with university degrees.
Black and Hispanic males without a college education are the most likely to be living with their parents, even as they head towards their own middle age.
It reflects a lack of social mobility in its most literal sense, with some of these young people never getting further than their own doorstep.
The decline in independent living has its own economic consequences, with less consumer spending on all kinds of house-buying, furniture and services that would be bought by starter-home couples.
There are also suggestions that this is putting financial pressure on middle-aged people - who instead of downsizing are still supporting children, who are getting their own first grey hairs.
But it's really another example of tough times for the younger generation.
And it also shows the gap between the glitzy world of sky-high property prices and the frustrating reality of young people without any real prospect of ever getting their own front door key.
These youngsters are locked out of what would once have been an expectation of getting their own home.
There could also be a more positive interpretation of all this.
Maybe the generation gap is closing and adult children are more comfortable living with their parents.
Perhaps the older generation - convinced that 50 is the new 30 - privately don't mind this never-ending extension of their parenthood.
There might be a greater emotional closeness - and it's not just a relationship built on rent-free living and access to Netflix and the fridge.


Olympic swimmer Chloe Tutton says she could not have dreamt of having such a successful year.

Media playback is not supported on this device
20-year-old Tutton finished in fourth place in the 200m breaststroke at Rio 2016, missing out on a bronze medal by 6/100ths of a second.
She ended her season with a bronze at the World Short Course Championships.
"This time last year it was just a dream that I would have swam how I did and achieved the things I did," she told BBC Wales Sport.
"It's great to have lived it. I've set myself some more dreams."
The Rhondda swimmer secured a bronze in the 200m breaststroke at the World Short Course Championships in Windsor, Canada in December and set a new British record in the 100m breaststroke final.
Tutton was still a teenager when she broke the British 200m breaststroke record with a stunning display at the British Swimming Championships in April.
The City of Cardiff swimmer's performance in Glasgow impressed selectors and she was included in Great Britain's swimming team for Rio 2016.
"I had to keep pinching myself to remind me this is what you've been training for your whole life," Tutton said.
"It just felt like a dream the whole time if I'm honest.
"I still kick myself because it was so close and it was just a fraction just a flinch on the block that could have changed the position of the draw."
Tutton competed in Rio alongside three other Welsh swimmers, Jazz Carlin, Georgia Davies and Ieuan Lloyd.
Commonwealth gold medallist Carlin won two silvers at Rio and shared an apartment in the athletes' village with Tutton.
"We shared the same sort of programme because we were racing on the same days, seeing how she relaxed and how she prepared for things it was kind of nice," Tutton added.
"I was on the same page as Jazz. She was doing her own thing but I was doing mine alongside. She's an inspirational woman.
"I'm so proud of being Welsh, just getting to talk to one another in the team."


An e-fit of a man wanted in connection with an attempted robbery in a park in Lincoln has been ridiculed on social media.

One response to the appeal said simply: "It's He-Man".
Another likened the image to 1990s pop star Chesney Hawkes, writing "I am the one and only".
Lincolnshire Police is yet to respond to a request for a comment but other forces have previously blamed computer errors for questionable e-fits.
Responses on BBC Radio Lincolnshire's Facebook page also included this one: "I know the Sweet had some iffy hits, but "criminal"? really? - likening the image to singer Brian Connolly (pictured below).
Posting on the police's Facebook page, one person said the suspect looked like a computer Sims' character her five-year-old had created.
Georgina F Carter wrote: "I'm not sure this is quite the response the police were hoping for but this must surely go down in history as the biggest graphics fail of 2017!!!!
"He looks like a Muppet, it's ridiculous."
Some criticised the force for posting an e-fit which was distracting from the actual crime.
One person wrote: "I can't stop laughing at both the e-fit, and all these comments. Perhaps back to the drawing board lads?"
The appeal, which was posted earlier, asked for help to identify a man after an attempted robbery earlier this month in Hartsholme Park, in Lincoln.
The man is described as having blonde unkempt hair and wearing a grey T-shirt.
The victim sustained a minor injury to her cheek, the force said.
In 2016, Northamptonshire Police released an e-fit, which was described as looking "like he was eating a banana sideways".
Other forces have also faced a bit of a backlash over e-fits, including one from a victim in Norfolk, who said about the man in the image below (top right), although the thief had an unusual appearance he "didn't look that odd".

New organisers have been chosen to take over the running of Brighton Pride.

A newly established group has been chosen by Brighton and Hove City Council to run the parade and ticketed festival in Preston Park.
Pride Brighton and Hove will donate Â£1 of every ticket sold to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender charities.
In areport the council said the event had not been "financially successful"for the previous organisers, Pride South East.
The event, which is usually held in August, will now take place on 1 September due to pressures from the London 2012 Olympics.
One of the organisers, Michael Deol, said the festival was integral to Brighton's economy.
"The annual event has ensured a fantastic summer boom for businesses across the city from guest houses and hotels to restaurants, shops and clubs," he said.
A council spokeswoman said it received two proposals for running Pride.
"Pride Brighton and Hove are a new community interest company that has committed to ring fence a proportion of ticket income from the planned park event to go directly to charity to benefit the local LGBT community," she said.
"Pride is an important event for the city - not only for residents and visitors but also our economy."


Two US firms which lost out on a decommissioning contract to clean up 12 nuclear sites in the UK will receive £97.5m compensation.

The government has also ordered an inquiry into the "deeply flawed" tender.
The £6.1bn contract, awarded in 2014, is being terminated nine years early.
The move hit shares in the UK engineering firm Babcock International, which headed the group that won the decommissioning deal.
The compensation will go to Energy Solutions, which had previously managed the decommissioning sites, and another engineering firm, Bechtel.
It follows a High Court ruling last July which found that the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) had "fudged" the tendering process, wrongly deciding the outcome of the procurement process.
Not only was the tender process flawed but the contract itself did not reflect the true extent of the work that had to be done, the court found.
Babcock confirmed it had reached an agreement with the NDA to hand back the decommissioning contract early.
The company said that the work required at the 12 sites was "now materially different in volume to that which was initially specified".
Berkeley, Bradwell, Dungeness A, Harwell, Hinkley Point A, Oldbury, Sizewell A, Winfrith
Trawsfynydd, Wylfa
Chapelcross, Hunterston A
The 14-year contract will now end in September 2019 after just five years.
That will dent Babcock's annual revenue by £100m in 2020-21. The group said it would replace that with new business.
Nonetheless, its shares were down more than 4% in Monday trading after the news.
The independent inquiry, which will be led by the former chief executive of National Grid, Steve Holliday, will look at how the tender process was run and why the contract awarded proved unsustainable.
"It's clear the 2012 tendering process was deeply flawed," said the Business Secretary Greg Clark, responding to an urgent question in parliament.
"This was a defective procurement, with significant financial consequences, and I am determined that the reasons for it should be exposed and understood; that those responsible should properly be held to account; and that it should never happen again," Mr Clark also said.
He added that workers at nuclear power stations at the heart of the failed decommissioning deal would not be under threat.
According to the Department for Business, the inquiry will "review the conduct of the NDA and of Government departments and make any recommendations it sees fit".
That could include possible disciplinary proceedings, it added. The inquiry is due to report in October.
Trade unions have called for the decommissioning contract to be taken back from private companies.
Unite national officer for energy, Kevin Coyne, said it was "clear that the 'clean up' contract should be taken back into public control where it should have been in the first place".
The GMB's Scotland Secretary Gary Smith described the 2014 deal as "a mess from the off".
"We need to cut out the middle men, have this work done in-house to cut costs and to save the taxpayer money," he said.


Until last month, Christy Kinahan was largely unknown to the general public.

The Dublin man's name and activities were mainly of interest to Irish police and crime journalists.
But over the course of four violent February days, Kinahan, and the criminal enterprise that bears his name, attracted global interest.
First, a man was shot dead at a boxing weigh-in at a Dublin hotel, with another man then murdered in what police believed was a reprisal attack.
Kinahan's rise, from minor Dublin criminal to the kingpin behind one of Europe's biggest drug cartels, seems like the stuff of fiction.
He grew up in Dublin's south inner city, and in the late 1990s was convicted of drugs offences.
He might have remained a low-level drug dealer for the rest of his life, but it seems he was ambitious.
In prison he devoted himself to education, and learning languages in particular.
By the time he walked out through the prison gates in 2001, he was fluent in Spanish and Dutch, languages which he would soon utilise.
He moved to Spain, where he quickly made connections with Irish and UK criminals.
He started importing drugs from South America and distributing them throughout Europe.
His business grew, and grew.
Kinahan was making tens of millions of euros.
But that kind of money attracts attention, no matter how assiduously it is hidden.
In 2008 a number of police forces across Europe linked up to investigate the Kinahan operation, although by then it could be better described as a cartel.
The investigation, code-named Operation Shovel, was led by Spanish authorities but also incorporated specialist police teams in Belgium, the Republic of Ireland and the UK.
Operation Shovel became a wide-ranging and forensic investigation but the exact details contained within the police files have never been made public, until now.
The BBC's Spotlight programme has exclusively obtained the Spanish police files from that investigation, and the detail is remarkable.
They reveal the astonishing wealth and global scope of the Kinahan drugs trafficking operation.
The files contain lists of bank accounts and their locations, the names of various companies said to be fronts for laundering drug money, and the meticulous security measures used by Kinahan and his associates.
The files also contain the transcripts of wire taps that give an insight into how the cartel worked from the inside.
In one such conversation a well-known Dublin criminal appears to be arranging to deliver a gun to Gary Hutch, a nephew of Gerard Hutch, who at one time acted as a bodyguard for Daniel Kinahan, the man now said to be in day-to-day control of the Kinahan cartel.
The files also reveal the vast wealth accrued by the cartel.
At one point, members of the gang are revealed to be discussing the possibility of investing in their own container ship.
Wiretaps reveal the gang discussing how their ship would be used to export what they refer to as sugar from South America.
Another conversation reveals how Kinahan suggested that the gang should consider buying their own marina in southern Spain.
The Spanish police documents reveal a complex international web of finance and logistics that the authorities clearly believed was being used for wholesale drug trafficking.
The big question is, given the scale of Operation Shovel, including the detailed surveillance carried out by the Spanish police and the intelligence in the files, why has there not been a prosecution against any of the leading gang members for drug trafficking?
The information has been in the hands of the Spanish police for more than six years.
It is unclear whether it was shared in full with the Irish police force, the Garda SÃochÃ¡na, which was a partner agency in the operation.
But it has been six years in which there have been numerous murders that have been attributed by police sources to the Kinahan cartel.
The recent spate of murders may have lent a new urgency to the international police operation against the Kinahan cartel.
What is now becoming clear is how much the police already know.

Scottish Power is planning to double the size of its hydro-electric power plant that stores energy as well as generating power.

It says the UK will need much more energy storage capacity as renewables increase on the National Grid.
It says it can add 400 megawatts (MW) of on-demand electricity by building a new dam in front of the existing dam.
But it says the £300-£400m cost is prohibitive unless it can get a guaranteed floor price for its use from the government.
In return, Scottish Power says it will accept a cap on profits.
The Cruachan plant near Oban in Scotland pumps water 400m uphill at night when energy prices from wind farms are cheap.
It then lets the water flow downhill in daytime in order to generate electricity when demand peaks and power prices are expensive.
Scottish Power's Neil Clitheroe told BBC News: "Pumped hydro is ideal because it's relatively cheap, it's virtually instant, and it provides power at scale. We will need much more of this sort of thing when we get more wind power on the system."
Ministers have recognised that energy storage in the UK needs to be radically improved as renewables produce more and more power.
The Chancellor George Osborne's National Infrastructure Commission will soon offer its recommendations on the issue.
A Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) spokesperson told BBC News: "We recognise the potential for storage technologies, including pumped hydro storage, to help us use energy flexibly. Our priority is providing clean, secure energy at the lowest possible price for families and businesses."
Scottish Power calculates that its pumped hydro system stores the same amount of energy as seven million car batteries.
Cruachan is the second biggest of four pumped hydro systems in the UK.
It was originally built in 1965 to keep the lights on if a nuclear power plant went down,
It can generate at full load for 14.5 hours, but is now being used more often to smooth peaks and troughs in demand. It can be up to full power in less than a minute.
When it's in operation, water flows from a man-made upland reservoir through turbines in a spectacular cathedral-sized cavern in the middle of the hill.  The water exits to Loch Awe.
The firm is arguing that new pumped hydro is needed because of tightening electricity margins, the need for increased capacity and the need to maximise the efficiency of output from wind turbines.
The Cruachan plant is a tourist attraction which is said by Wikipedia to have been the setting for a Bond movie. Scottish Power says James Bond has never appeared in its power station, but it is happy with the publicity.

Social isolation is associated with a higher risk of death in older people regardless of whether they consider themselves lonely, research suggests.

A study of 6,500 UK men and women aged over 52 found that being isolated from family and friends was linked with a 26% higher death risk over seven years.
Whether or not participants felt lonely did not alter the impact of social isolation on health.
Age UK says cuts to services for older people are compounding the problem.
It is not the first time that loneliness and social isolation has been linked with poor health.
But researchers wanted to find out if it was the emotional aspect of feeling lonely that was having an impact or the reality of having little social contact.
Those who were socially isolated - that is had little or no contact with friends or family - were more likely to be older and unmarried and have long-standing illnesses limiting their mobility, such as lung disease and arthritis.
People who described themselves as feeling lonely were more likely to be female and have a wider range of health conditions, including depression.
Both social isolation and feeling lonely were associated with a higher chance of death.
But after adjusting for factors such as underlying health conditions, only social isolation remained important.
That risk did not change when researchers added in whether or not someone felt lonely in their isolation.
Writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers said they were surprised by their findings.
Study leader Prof Andrew Steptoe, director of the Institute of Epidemiology and Health Care at University College London, said: "Social connections can provide emotional support and warmth which is important but they also provide things like advice, making sure people take their medication and provide support in helping them to do things.
"It would suggest that those practical aspects are quite important for older people's survival.
"There's been such an increase in people living alone. In the last 15 years, the number of 55 to 64-year-olds living alone has increased by 50%.
"And it might be that people in those circumstances aren't looking after themselves so well."
Michelle Mitchell, director general at Age UK, said: "This study shows more clearly than before that being lonely and isolated is not only miserable, it is a real health risk, increasing the risk of early death."
She added that cuts to local authority budget cuts may exacerbate the problem of isolation for many older people.
"Across the country day care centres, often the only regular social life that many older people enjoy, are closing, social care support which can enable older people to leave the house is being cut down to the bare minimum, and too many older people are hidden behind closed doors struggling to cope."


Halfway through the April-to-April jump racing season - but with the 'core' six month-period that climaxes at the festivals at Cheltenham and Aintree ahead - the most hotly anticipated storyline of the campaign seems to be shaping up neatly.
Richard Johnson, runner-up to AP McCoy in 16 of the record 20 championships he won before retirement in April, holds a lead of almost McCoy-esque proportions as he seeks an elusive first champion jockey title.
And it's no exaggeration to say that there is a universal belief within racing that, if justice is ever to be served, the 38-year-old simply must win the accolade.
It is a view held even among the fiercest of his rival jockeys.
"Obviously most of them are about 15 years younger than me," said Johnson said, a smile spreading across his face, as he spoke to BBC Sport at the first fixture of the main part of the jumps season at Cheltenham. "So they know they'll have plenty of time in the future.
"But, yes, I'm feeling massively the goodwill from them, from owners, from trainers and from the general public via social media, every day I go racing.
"I've had a great time riding - for 22 years in all - and it's nice to now hopefully get a chance to do the best I can and, if I could manage to get that title, it would mean everything to me.
Johnson, from a family in rural Herefordshire that has for generations mixed agriculture and racing in a way typical of jumping's grassroots, is by some way the second most successful jump jockey of all time.
So far, he has more than 2,900 successes to his name, including victory in the 2000 Cheltenham Gold Cup on Looks Like Trouble and the Champion Hurdle of 2003 on Rooster Booster, plus a Conditional Jockeys' title (for National Hunt apprentices), achieved under the tutelage of master-trainer David Nicholson.
How different the record books would look now if Northern Ireland-born McCoy, 41, who rode his first winner in Britain a few months after Johnson had partnered his initial success as a young amateur rider, had pursued alternative employment.
For most of us, being forced to live for such a long time in the shadow of an opponent, however towering, would lead to fury and resentment but, famously, the perennial runner-up to McCoy has never grumbled.
Was he really that philosophical? Johnson insists he was.
"OK, you're frustrated and you're always determined to try to beat him, and everything else, but at the end of the day I can only do my best," he said.
"I'd have been upset if I hadn't given every inch, but I did; unfortunately I never managed to ride as many winners as him.
"And he was a gentleman to work with, even if rather frustrating to ride against."
By way of further explanation, Johnson added: "In our job, the horses are the athletes and our job is to get on the fastest ones.
"But, you never know, you're on a winner one race, and half an hour later you could easily be on the floor, literally. That's why there's no time for bad-will or hard-feeling".
Trainers Philip Hobbs, a longstanding ally, Tim Vaughan, Gordon Elliott, Charlie Longsdon and McCoy's close associate Jonjo O'Neill have given Johnson the bulk of his total so far.
Though well aware that the most important months of the campaign lie ahead, he has galloped serenely past the landmark of a century of winners and, mid-season, holds a healthy advantage in the title race over rising stars Aidan Coleman and Sam Twiston-Davies.
It does put things into perspective, however, when you see that while Johnson reached his 100 in mid-October it was in August of the 2014-15 season that McCoy broke his own record for jumping's fastest 'ton'.
As for this season, Johnson has a single aim.
"To be champion jockey is my target - it has been for 22 years since I started, and that would be lovely," he said.
"I want to ride as many winners as possible every day of the week, whether it's Monday at Ayr or Saturday at Cheltenham.
"There are plenty of miles involved, and if you were doing it to ride one 50-1 shot, as some guys do, it would be much harder, but when things are going well it is only enjoyable."
Final question: has he thought what it would feel like to be Richard Johnson, champion jump jockey?
"I've thought about it for a long time," said the father-of-three, who on Saturday looks to win the prestigious Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby for the second year running on Menorah.
"It's just something that I'd be proud of a long way down the line.
"If I could be mentioned in the same breath as some of the people that have been champion jockeys before it would be amazing, something for me and my children to be very proud of."
There is coverage of the Bet365 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby on BBC Radio 5 live, Saturday, 31 October, 15:05 GMT

Welsh Premier League sides Connah's Quay Nomads, Bala Town and Bangor City begin their Europa League campaigns on Thursday.

Nomads, who finished as league runners-up in 2016-17, will host HJK Helsinki of Finland in the first qualifying round first leg at Bangor City's Nantporth.
Welsh Cup winners Bala will face FC Vaduz of Lichtenstein in their first leg ties at Rhyl's Belle Vue.
Bangor secured their place in Europe via the play-offs and they will be away to Danish side Lyngby BK.

Bala Town will be appearing in the Europa League for the fourth time and hoping to reach the second qualifying round for the first time.
Manager Colin Caton says his side have learnt from previous campaigns, which included narrow aggregate defeats to Estonian side Levadia Tallin and Differdange of Luxembourg.
"Going into the first couple of seasons was going into the unknown really but we've got no excuses this time," Caton said.
"It's going to be a real tough test for us but we're going to give the best account we can."
Their opponents, FC Vaduz, qualified as Liechtenstein Football Cup winners but play in the Swiss leagues and were relegated from the Super League in 2016-17.
"People say that we've got the best draw and the easiest draw," Caton said.
"But we're playing against a team that's drawn with FC Basel - a Champions League qualifier - and beaten Young Boys."
Caton has added the experienced former Bangor City and Connah's Quay forward Les Davies and midfielder Eddie Toner to the squad which won the Welsh Cup in April.
And Caton says his side's 2-1 final victory over Welsh Premier champions New Saints will inspire the Lakesiders to achieve further success.
"There's still a massive buzz around the club," Caton told BBC Wales Sport.
"It's important that we all achieve again as a group and try and take it to the next step."
Connah's Quay Nomads manager Andy Morrison is under no illusions how tough a task his side face against Finnish side HJK Helsinki.
Morrison travelled to Finland to watch the Veikkausliga leaders secure their fifth successive victory with a 2-0 win over IFK Mariehamn last Thursday.
"It was an eye opener," the former Manchester City defender told BBC Wales Sport.
"I knew they would be good but they were better than I thought they would be. They should have won by many, many more.
"They're on fire at the moment. They're not conceding goals and creating a lot of opportunities.
"We've got an idea of how tough it's going to be but I've got all the faith in the world in the lads that they will give a great account of themselves."
Nomads have qualified for Europe for the second time having reached the Europa League second qualifying round last season.
Morrison says the games against Norwegian side Stabaek - whom they beat 1-0 on aggregate - and FK Vojvodina of Serbia will hold them in good stead.
They have prepared for Thursday's first leg with a 0-0 draw against Ballymena and a 2-0 defeat to St Johnstone and Morrison says playing a side who are midway through their season will be tough.
"The preparations are always difficult for a part-time club," Morrison added.
"I'm going to have lads coming off the beach and off their holidays on Wednesday night and then playing on Thursday.
"That's far from ideal but that's the football world in a part-time league.
"But there's a huge upside because it's a great experience."

Bangor's play-off win over Cardiff Met in May secured European football for the first time in three years.
The Citizens have been drawn against Lyngby BK, with the first leg taking place in Denmark.
Kevin Nicholson, who was named the club's manager in May, is well aware of Bangor's proud European history which includes encounters against Napoli and Atletico Madrid.
"As a group there's a lot of excitement about being in Europe again," Nicholson said.
"It's obviously really important for Bangor City to be in Europe.
"Everybody at the club, the players, staff, and Gary Taylor-Fletcher as the caretaker manager at the end of last season, achieved that opportunity for the club and worked very hard to do that.
"What we are all aiming to do in these games against Lyngby is to make the most of the opportunity that the club has created for itself."
Nicholson hopes Bangor will not have to wait another three years to reach Europe once again.
"It is something we want to be involved in on a regular basis," he added.
"We're not just excited about these European games - were also excited about the league campaign coming up in August.
"Our aim is to qualify automatically for Europe through the league."

Councils are spending hundreds of millions of pounds servicing their debts, according to the Scottish Greens.

An analysis for the party found that Scotland's 32 councils owe Â£11.5bn between them.
The money is owed to banks and a scheme set up by the UK Treasury.
A typical council spends the equivalent of 42% of its council tax money servicing the debts, the research indicated.
One council - Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (Western Isles Council) - spends more servicing its debts than it raises in council tax locally, although the authority told BBC Scotland its financial arrangements were exceptional.
The analysis also found that Clackmannanshire, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Highland, Inverclyde, South Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire councils all spent at least half of their council tax revenue servicing debt.
The council tax makes up about 15% of a typical council's budget.
The Greens said the "unethical" nature of the loans meant the Treasury and the banks concerned should cancel them.
In the last financial year, Scottish councils spent almost Â£1bn on repayments to the Public Works Loan Board of the UK Treasury and still owe the board a total of almost Â£9bn.
Patrick Harvie, finance spokesman for the Scottish Greens, said: "Given the crisis facing local authority finances, it's unacceptable that councils are using council tax revenue to deal with historic debts that enrich private banks and the UK Treasury.
"The unethical nature of the loans from private banks justifies cancellation of these payments, and the Westminster government should write off council debts to end the unfair squeeze on local services."
Councils say they borrowed the money to invest in the local infrastructure - not to help them balance their books. Some say direct comparisons with the amount raised locally in council tax could be misleading.
The council tax in the Western Isles is the lowest in Scotland and makes up an unusually-low proportion of the council's budget.
A spokesman for the council said: "These figures reflect the fact there has been substantial investment in the islands because of the needs of the islands. The investments have been in the much-needed improvements in the infrastructure of the islands.
"Our low population base and lower than the Scottish average housing values means that revenue from council tax is very low and only accounts for about 8% of our total revenue, which is mainly made up of [Scottish] government grant."
He added: "The servicing of the debt is not based on council tax so, whilst it is a high percentage figure, that simply reflects the investment that the comhairle and government recognised was needed in the islands."
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar said that like other councils it had been through extremely challenging financial circumstances in recent years. Those circumstances showed no sign of improving so the council said it faced choices ahead.
Local government umbrella body Cosla said councils borrowed money "extremely responsibly" and worked to a code when they did this.
A spokesman said: "Loans are taken out to fund vital infrastructure which is integral to the services which are provided to support communities. Councils operate within strict guidelines through well-established Treasury management policies and they apply the Prudential Code on affordability to ensure that debt is not a burden on the council or its communities.
"Nonetheless, we are all very aware that councils are facing extremely difficult financial circumstances, with the prospect of another difficult financial settlement, and anything that can be done by the UK government, as part of the Chancellor's Autumn Statement, to help alleviate these pressures and free up resources to protect services to our communities would be welcome."
A Treasury spokesman said: "Historic debt is the responsibility of individual local authorities. The government has no plans to change this position.
"Responsibility for borrowing decisions lies with the locally-elected members of the council, who are democratically accountable to their electorates."


Hundreds of Falklands veterans have marched through Gosport on the 35th anniversary of the conflict.

British troops began landing on the islands in the South Atlantic on 21 May 1982.
The Hampshire town, which is home to the Falklands Veterans Foundation, has hosted a national commemoration service and parade every five years since 1997.
A civic procession and a service at the town's Falkland Gardens was followed by a parade through the High Street.
The march past was led by the Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines Collingwood.
The mayor of Gosport Linda Batty, Deputy Lieutenant of Hampshire Rear Admiral Iain Henderson and First Sea Lord Sir Philip Jones took the salute.
Falklands Veterans Foundation chief executive Derek "Smokey" Cole, who served on board HMS Intrepid, said: "Gosport has a very special place in the hearts of veterans and their families, because many of those who served in the conflict lived there, and the town's military facilities played a crucial role in supporting the Falklands campaign - including supplying and arming the taskforce."


UKIP and Labour leaders have hit the campaign trail in Stoke-on-Trent ahead of next month's by-election.

UKIP leader Paul Nuttall, who is standing, said his party was ready to pull off a "shock" win.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who was door knocking with candidate Gareth Snell, said he was "very happy" with Labour's position.
The Stoke-on-Trent Central by-election was called after Tristram Hunt resigned as an MP earlier this month.
Mr Nuttall said the party would provide a "real Brexit" for the UK, adding that electing another Labour MP would be "lobby fodder".
In 2015 Mr Hunt, who resigned on 13 January to become director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, held a 5,000-vote majority over UKIP, who came second in the Staffordshire constituency.
Mr Nutall said: "The bookies have got us down as the slight favourites in this.
"I think the people of Stoke have gradually clocked on that the Labour party doesn't necessarily have their best interests at heart."
Mr Corbyn canvassed with Mr Snell, former leader of Newcastle Borough Council, and said: "The campaign is going fine, thank you very much, absolutely fine."
Although a traditional Labour safe seat, Stoke-on-Trent voted 65% in favour of leaving the EU in last year's referendum.
Liberal Democrats: Zulfiqar Ali
Conservative: Jack Brereton
Christian Peoples: Godfrey Davies
UKIP: Paul Nuttall
Labour: Gareth Snell
Mr Nuttall added: "If you want someone in the House of Commons to champion Brexit -real Brexit, controlling our borders, controlling our money, controlling our finances - you go out and you vote Ukip in this election."
Voters will go to the polls on 23 February.
On the same day voting will take place in Copeland in Cumbria, to replace Labour MP Jamie Reed.


Police Scotland will take over railway policing when the function is devolved, Scotland's justice secretary has decided.

The move means that the British Transport Police (BTP) will no longer operate as a separate force in Scotland.
BTP wanted to continue providing this service, with oversight by Holyrood instead of Westminster.
But Justice Secretary Michael Matheson has decided against that.
He wants the force's Scottish operations and more than 200 officers integrated into Police Scotland.
In a statement, the Scottish government said: "Police Scotland is responsible for all policing in Scotland outwith the railways and we believe the functions of the British Transport Police should be integrated within the single service.
"The BTP provide a specialist function that is recognised and valued by the rail industry and its passengers and it is essential that this specialism is maintained within Police Scotland.
"This will ensure the most efficient and effective delivery of all policing in Scotland, keeping communities safe and strong".
A letter released to the BBC by the Scottish government under freedom of information reveals that former Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill offered to takeover the BTP in 2011.
He wrote to the then UK Transport Secretary Philip Hammond on the day that the creation of a single Scottish police force was announced.
In the letter, Mr MacAskill wrote: "I would like to explore the potential for the BTP in Scotland to become part of the new Scottish policing landscape".
The Scottish government has also released an email from the British Transport Police Federation, which represents police officers, expressing anger at the Smith commission recommendation.
In this note dated 5 December 2014, the federation's chairman, George Lewis said: "Such a move is both unjustified and unjustifiable.
"It is a betrayal of the BTP and our members who have worked tirelessly to achieve their policing targets year after year".
SNP ministers had a high-profile dispute with the British Transport Police over its use of stop and search when they first took office.
Mr Matheson told the Police Oracle website that railway policing needed to become part of Police Scotland because of the country's "distinctive approach to policing".
And he told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme: "Police reforms have been taking place in Scotland over the last 18 months, moving to the single force.
"It's been the Scottish government's view that this [transport policing] would be better if it was integrated into Police Scotland given that it would sit alongside our national police service.
"That's why we believe this would be a better fit for how we are taking policing forward in Scotland."
The Smith Commission on further devolution recommended that policing the railway be devolved and this was included in draft legislation drawn up by the UK government.
This is expected to become law after the general election and the BTP could become part of Police Scotland by the end of 2016.
A BTP spokesman said: "We are aware of the justice secretary's public comments on the future of railway policing in Scotland.
"Our number one priority remains the continued safety and security of the railways in Scotland, and across the rest of the network.
"Since the announcement that rail policing was to be devolved, we have been in dialogue with the Scottish and UK governments, the rail industry and other key stakeholders. These discussions continue."
A UK Department for Transport spokesman said: "How rail transport is policed in Scotland will be a matter for Scotland once the legislation is passed."
Labour MP Tom Harris was the minister responsible for the British Transport Police in 2007-08.
"BTP is a long-standing and effective police force" he said.
"It will be sad to see it merged with Police Scotland as part of a further centralisation of services.
"This move is premature. No-one has been consulted - neither the travelling public nor the police officers themselves. A hasty decision today could put at jeopardy the safety of the travelling public tomorrow."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said: "Some people have argued that the Scottish Parliament should choose to keep the force as one single entity across the UK instead of integrating into Police Scotland.
"I think that is worthy of consideration. We need to have that debate. We need to consider this carefully rather than deciding now what the structure should be."
Scottish Conservative transport spokesman Alex Johnstone said: "People will look at this move and think the SNP is again using Police Scotland to make a political point.
"The British Transport Police are hugely respected and valued by passengers. One of their key duties is policing cross-border services, but now they will have to get off the train before Scotland and be replaced by officers from the single force.
Mr Johnstone added: "I think the public will be concerned by yet more centralising by the Scottish government."
BTP has 231 officers in Scotland according to the BTP federation website and a network of 11 offices within major railway stations.
It is dwarfed by Police Scotland which is the largest force in the UK outside London, with more than 17,000 officers.
Under one possible model, BTP could become the Scottish Transport Police division of Police Scotland.
The Scottish Police Authority, which oversees the work of Police Scotland, said it had already started discussions with the BTP.
BTP and its governing body are due to meet to consider their response to the Scottish government's plan.
The cross-border force is worried that losing its Scottish division could lead to the break-up of the entire force.
There have been previous discussions about the Metropolitan Police taking over railway policing in London.
BTP is not the only police force operating in Scotland alongside Police Scotland.
The MoD police and the Civil Nuclear Constabulary will continue to protect key sites.
