		Slevin is mistaken for Nick, who apparently owes money to two rivaling mafia type bosses who hate each other and he gets pulled into their personal war.
		The Boss believes Slevin to be Nick and claims the latter owes him $96K, but gives Slevin the option of eliminating the debt by killing the son of his archrival in crime, The Rabbi (Ben Kingsley), who lives in an identical penthouse immediately across the street.
		Slevin's life is further complicated by Lindsey (Lucy Liu), Nick's perky across-the-hall neighbor and NYC medical examiner, hard-boiled plainclothes cop Brikowski (Stanley Tucci), who has both The Boss and The Rabbi under surveillance from a dilapidated van who and wonders how Slevin enters the equation, and Mr.

		Lindsey: You mean this isn’t the first time a crime lord asked you to kill the gay son of a rival gangster to pay off a debt that belongs to a friend whose place you’re staying in as a result of losing your job, your apartment, and finding your girlfriend in bed with another guy?
		Ehe Slevin sich versieht gerät er zwischen die Fronten der zwei verfeindeten Gangsterbosse “The Boss” und “The Rabbi” (Ben Kingsley) und beide beschuldigen ihn, ihnen Geld zu schulden und wollen als Gegenleistung dafür einen “kleinen Gefallen”.

	Gerard Slevin at AllExperts
		During his time as Chief Herald, Slevin inaugurated a genealogy advisory service, to assist in requests for help from people of Irish ancestry.
		Slevin was also heavily involved in the design of the European flag, a circle of 12 golden stars on a deep blue background, and in recognition of this was made a member of the AcadÃ©mie Internationale d'HÃ©raldique.
		According to some sources (such as archivist and biographer Dr. Susan Hood) he was the actual designer of the flag; others (such as Tom McCarthy, president of the Genealogical Society of Ireland) suggest a more peripheral role.

	Statement by O'Kelly de Conejera
		It is further established in International Law that where a Ruling Dynasty is replaced by such as a Republic it retains the right to govern its own affairs and grant its traditional honours, despite its loss of territorial power.
		Thus as Gerard Slevin, the Chief Herald of Ireland, pointed out in discussion with me, he recognised the then Terence McCarthy as The MacCarthy Mór by the principle of Tanistry, as properly applicable to this Gaelic Irish Title, and which, as an Official of the Republic, he had no power to change.
		Slevin, and we normally lunched together to discuss matters of mutual interest when-ever I was in Dublin.

	Irish Chiefs: Memorandum on the Role of Irish Chief Herald Slevin in the Design of the European Flag
		He was one of a trio of European heralds who in the mid 1950s were tasked with devising a symbol for the Council of Europe, and it was his suggested design of the now ubiquitous circle of 12 golden stars on a deep blue background that finally found favour with the establishment in Strasbourg.
		The account of Slevin's alleged prime role in the design of the European flag was repeated in an official history of the Genealogical Office/Office of the Chief Herald by historian and archivist Susan Hood, which was commissioned by National Library Director and Chief Herald Brendan O Donoghue and published in 2002.
		The Irish Chief Herald Gerard Slevin did indeed play a role, but it was a relatively late and minor one, and despite personally favouring a design close to that finally accepted, he officially supported a design that was rejected.

		Fully conscious of the historic nature of the event, Dr. Slevin's office had spared no effort to ensure that the presentation was of the highest possible quality.
		Not only were the "letters patent" beautifully lettered and painted, complete with the pendant seal of the Chief Herald, but the document was presented in a specially made box lined with blue Irish poplin, on which was embroidered in gold thread the harp of Brian Boru, the emblem of the national arms of Ireland.
		Thus it was on the basis of President Kennedy's descent from Patrick Kennedy, who emigrated from County Wexford to Boston in 1845, that an application for a grant of arms was lodged on his behalf and subsequently approved.

	Irish Tourist Board - Ireland of the Welcomes Magazine
		In 1954, Gerard Slevin was appointed Chief Herald of Ireland and he provided devoted service in the fields of heraldry and genealogy from the Office’s headquarters in Dublin Castle, until his own retirement in 1981.
		Such was the demand for the services of the Office when Gerard Slevin was Chief Herald, that he initiated a new genealogical-advisory service, manned by professional genealogists, to assist those of Irish descent keen to trace their ancestry.
		The book was commissioned by the current Chief Herald of Ireland, Brendan O Donohue to acknowledge the existence and survival of the oldest office of state as the Office of Arms (renamed the Genealogical Office by the Irish Government in 1943) during its 450th anniversary in 2002.

		Een grote hit was Lucky Number Slevin niet in Nederland.
		Desondanks is de hippe thriller met Bruce Willis, Josh Hartnett, Ben Kingsley, Morgan Freeman en Lucy Lui de moeite waard.
		Regisseur Paul McGuigan heeft goed naar Quentin Tarantino gekeken, maar dat betekent niet dat Lucky Number Slevin een schaamteloos potje jatwerk is. Misschien zit het moordmysterie zelfs wel wat té slim in elkaar.

		Interestingly the EU flag itself - the by now very familiar circle of 12 five-pointed - is another example of an Irish inspired vision to further and more permanently represent the values and visions of the European Community.
		The EU flag was designed by an Irish man Gerard Slevin.
		Born on November 1 1919 in Cork Slevin became assistant to Edward McLysaght, the Chief Herald of Ireland from 1944 to 1954 when he succeeded his mentor.

		Furthermore, it is extraordinary that Mr Murphy does not understand that Chief Herald Slevin's registration of Terence MacCarthy's 'pedigree' amounted to an effectual recognition of Terence MacCarthy as Mac Carthy Mór.
		Partial reporting is unacceptable and is scandalous when it threatens the reputations of blameless government officials, soft targets, unable to defend themselves because of their conditions of service.
		The then Chief Herald, the late Gerald Slevin, who occasionally joined me for a meal when he ventured to London, had accepted at face value what purported to be proofs of descent from Terence McCarthy.

	Irish Chiefs: Thomas Shannon Foran, Duc de St Bar
		Unfortunately, as it had done in the case of MacCarthy and so many other bogus and questionable claimants, the Office embraced Foran's fantasies.
		Thus as late as 11 November 1994, Chief Herald Donal Begley issued an official patent confirming arms to Thomas Shannon Foran, 'Baron Foran, Duke of Saint Bar' (Volume X, folio 76, citing a Certificate of the Spanish Cronista Rey de Armas and a 1978 exemplification by Chief Herald Gerard Slevin).
		Foran is said to have introduced Terence MacCarthy and his associate Andrew Davison to noble society in Europe, and to have facilitated their acquiring membership of the Constantinian Order of St George.
