Digitus Impudicus....

Giving the finger..

Ger Dundon (along with Terrance McNamara, Christopher McCormack and David McCormack) appeared before Tom O'Donnell at the District Court via video link yesterday. Dundon had his face half covered with a bandana when the O'Donnell ordered the link turned off, after Dundon made a rude gesture with his middle finger. The video link is the new fan dangled technology installed in the court house last year (that only works half the time!).

O'Donnell said that he wasn't going to stand for a 'performance like that' and said it was 'uncalled for and unnecessary'. He told Dundon that he would be treated with respect if he showed respect to the court.

Dundon has been in custody for 86 days in relation to a violent disorder charge in February of this year. The book of evidence was not produced yesterday but Michael Murray State Solicitor advised the court that it was ready and O'Donnell then proceeded to adjourn the case back to Friday so that documents could be served (isn't there a lot of pissing about with this case?!?!) and a return for trial date fixed (puting it on the 'long finger' cough)

If somebody is mildly angry, they might just give the middle finger. If they’re very angry, they might give it with some sort of words or facial expression that shows anger. And if they’re off-the-charts angry, they may give a double....

so long and thanks for all the fish...

Fuckology of the week....


Remember that  'extensive'  Garda investigation?

What a 'cop' out, but predictable by the DPP.

Gardaí have completed their extensive (my arse!) *cough* investigation, and as a result the DPP have decided that Willie O has no case to answer.

The  DPP  is not going to prosecute Willie O in relation to the sworn affidavit he made, that inevitably led to his demise from Government.

The whole shebang centred around the infamous 'brothelgate' wherein he allegedly made false allegations that Maurice Quinlivan, Sinn Fein, had links to a brothel in Limerick.

I wonder what would have happened if Willie O had remembered the name of that Gard! now there's the burning question!

Willie O said he had been informed by a Senior Garda Officer of the decision.

“The allegation was one of perjury, which means I deliberately and knowingly gave an untrue version of accounts in an affidavit. I knew I hadn’t done that"   via Irish Times




The investigation of the meaning of words is the beginning of education.....

wouldn't you know.....

Up to 20 Gardai tried to break up a late night riot, involving over a dozen travellers, most of whom were from Limerick! at Magee Barracks site (owned by the Department of Defence, now derelict) in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Gardai were deployed from Kildare, Newbridge and Naas. Sticks, hurleys and iron bars were drawn and bottles flung at Garda cars, and it was apparently necessary for the Gardai to use their batons, although no serious injuries were reported.

Only two individuals were detained and they are due to appear before Kildare DC July 22nd next.



A riot is the language of the unheard....

Le Quatorze Juillet

Bastille Day...



I'm feeling very parisienne today!

"It's how they make a living"....

Four flower selling Romanian women, from Tipperary and Athlone, received a three month sentence, suspended for one year, for stealing an inebriated mans wallet whilst he lay slumped and distracted on the street, in the early hours of last Saturday morning. They pleaded guilty to the charges of theft. One of the Romanian women has previous convictions for theft. It was alleged that three of them surrounded the inebriated man while one of them stood watch and acted as a look out.

Their legal advisor, Sarah Ryan Solicitor,  acknowledged that these women took advantage of this man but claimed that the inebriated man had initially handed them some change when his wallet fell to the ground and they apparently picked it up!

It was reckless more than anything else" Sarah Ryan

Tom O'Donnell wanted to know what they were doing on the streets of Limerick when they were based in Tipperary and Athlone, to which Sarah Ryan replied..........(this has to be quote of the week!)....

 "It's how they make a living"

So.......does that make theft all right then?!?!? Tom O'Donnell seems to think so!
Maybe it's down to flower power!


It was not too long ago, only last week in fact,  that two other Romanian woman were before the court for prositution. Plain clothes Gardai watched (sure aren't they doing a lot of watching these days! *cough*) the women for a period of time as they approached cars. They were arrested and their defence was that they were unable to find work and had children to fend for. They pleaded guilty and O'Donnell remanded the matter to the 13th of October, stating that the matter would be struck out if there were no further charges.

Faulty towers?!?

Faulty effin towers wouldn't get a look in!


The Roman Vysochan murder trial had to be moved from Limerick to Tipperary earlier today, due to the 'required facilities not being available in Limerick'!.  Remote video evidence/testimony from a witness was required in the case.

The jury will be transported by bus to Nenagh Courthouse to hear the video evidence.

Does anything work in Limerick?

Anthony Mason and John O'Loughlin deny the murder charge. Roman was stabbed to death in May 2008.
