Dessie Dundon was transfered from Wheatfield Prison to Mountjoy on Sunday evening. Did he get the bums rush on his arrival,considering the ongoing problem with overcrowding? Nah, instead he got the VIP treatment! Very Important Prisoner like!
Severe overcrowding left other inmates sleeping on matresses on a hard floor in the reception area, while Dessie was enjoying the comforts of his own cell just a few feet away. Dundon is currently serving a life sentence for the murder of Kieran Keane in 2003.
Dermot Ahern put it down to 'prison service matters'. The prison service issued a statement on overcrowding but couldn't comment on Dessie's situation...
His brother Ger was arrested recently for tail gating an empty prison van from Wheatfield Prison. Gardai believed it to be a dry run for a jail break. His other brother Wayne recently released from prison had a bit of a 'hiccup' whilst planning a short getaway to Mexico.
Some family trees bear an enormous crop of nuts.

the terrible two's
Liam 'Baby' Kelly and Robert Crawford convicted of burglary at Newcastlewest Autos.
Baby is the brother of Aidan Kelly who was shot dead in 2006.
Baby has been around the block a bit...
In 2007 he was sentenced to three months for failing to stop for the Gardai , he was shot at three times, and was involved in a bit of a fracas and accused of shooting Ian Brennan. He went forward for trial in 2008 in relation to the Brennan incident, for possession of a shotgun and attempt to endanger life. It was alleged Baby and Brennan argued over a girl, Baby's girlfriend (Leanne Campbell McNamara) , who was seemingly involved with both of them. Brennan gave evidence to say he was shot in the back and in the stomach by Baby. Not the first time there was an attempt on Brennan's life .
Ian Brennan had been out socialising with his friends Philip Collopy and Brian Scanlon. Brennan said he was 110% certain it was Baby. The jury failed to reach a verdict after three days and in 2009 he was up before the court again. Philip Collopy gave evidence stating ' sure I get shot at every week". Collopy, Brennan's friend stated the g unman's face was covered. Baby was acquitted. Collopy accidentally shot himself a couple of months later.

Wayne's World
He entered the territory of lies without a passport for return.
Recent events in Molesworth Street (Passport dispute) have put a kibosh on a two week getaway to Mexico for Wayne Dundon, who was recently released from Wheatfield Prison, after serving a five year prison sentence for threating to kill Ryan Lee (Bar Man) a couple of years back. It's reported that Steve Collins observed him walking out of Roxboro Garda Station on Monday as brazen as brass like! after requesting a passport application form.

A short story is always a Disclosure
Today a female Garda was arrested in connection with disclosing information which inevitabley led to the resignation of Trevor Sargent.
leaks and leaks and more leaks
and moles
and brothelgate debacles
And what about Willie O? and his Garda Leak? Well, he suddenly 'can't remember'! A number of interviews were apparently conducted in Henry Street over the last number of weeks. Of course, it was evident that nothing would come of same. Poor ole Willie just couldn't 'recall' the name of the Garda that passed, leaked *cough cough* information to him.
Memory is deceptive because it is coloured by today's events.......

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long----shot!
Meanwhile..
The Joint Policing Committee have appealed for more Gardai in the City........ this is after a declaration two weeks ago that crime stats were down! Additional Gardai need to be deployed.
This is following on from the attemped murder of Paul Coffey (He used to be a big shot!no pun intended!). He was shot at on Michael Street on Sunday evening. He escaped uninjured.
In a NUT shell..
Coffey, In 2003 whilst on trial for the murder of Eddie Ryan in the Moose Bar in 2000 allegedly named (or I should state, the Gardai alleged) Kieran Keane (now deceased) as one of the two gunmen involved in the murder of Eddie Ryan. The other, Philip Collopy now also deceased. Ryan was shot eleven times. Coffey alleged that he was offered a deal if he turned state witness, which was emphatically denied by the Gardai at the time. Coffey also alleged he was assaulted during his detention. Coffey admitted driving the getaway car. Ryan tried to kill Christy Keane a couple of days earlier, but his gun jammed. He is the only individual to have been charged in relation to the murder (spanning over a decade).
Coffey was sentenceed to 15 years with seven suspended. The Judge took into account Coffey's Counsel's defence that he had a low IQ.......
Coffey's prison detention has been flowered with events! Mobile phones found in his possession and face slashed, he was back in court in 2008 and yet released just recently in 2010, causing a bit of controversy.
Gardai are 'keeping an open mind' . (probably shots taken by one of the McCarthy Dundon gang, like)

Mac the knife
You're supposed to hold down the hijack button to enter a taxi... well in grand theft auto at least!
Robert McNamara of St. Patrick’s Park, Carrick on Shannon was arrested in Leitrim in connection with the hijacking of a taxi on the 8th of March 2010. Mac took a taxi from Carrick on Shannon to Roscommon and then insisted the taxi driver take him to Limerick. After the driver refused Mac then produced a knife (allegedly). A couple of hours later, in the wee hours of the morning they arrived in Limerick. After he stole the driver's car keys and mobile phone and a small amount of cash he made his getaway. He was picked up by a female soon aterwards.
Mac the knife has a bit of a history...including producing a knife from his nether regions while answering some questions and filling out forms in Roxboro some years back (2002) (the ejit actually stabbed himself! but not before sticking his fist through a window first!)
Mac's steak knife and stab wound
Be careful out there. There are things that go bump in the night. Actually, there are things that go 'Give me your wallet or I'll kill you' in the night!

He who does not prevent a crime when he can, engourages it
Limerick crime down by 33% in 2010.
The Joint Policing Committee, who meet every two months were told that there was a 'significant' *cough, splutter, cough* drop in crime, possibly due to the recent bad weather *falls over laughing*. This could have had a bearing on the overall figure because like,............... people stay indoors rather than venture out in that bad weather!
According to John Gilligan (former Mayor of Limerick) these statistics/figures should be stuck up in lights and highlighted in the media!

I feel like I’m on the toilet seat of emotion right now- - - just letting it all out
It is an offence under section 62 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 for officers to be involved in the "unauthorised release of data" collated by gardaí.
If there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is.
