Outbreak
The virus is spreading .........
In recent weeks residents in various estates around Limerick have started to voice their opinions and fears in relation to an ongoing campaign of intimidation and harassment by individuals housed in said estates by the local Council. Some of the sheisters causing all the trouble are as young as 8 and 9 years old and this has been going on for nearly a decade, with primary focus this week on Fairview Crescent, Garryowen .
Residents are living in fear and with some fleeing said estates due to fears for their safety. It is alleged that over 15 families have fled Fairview Crescent due to threats and intimidation.
Despite numerous complaints to the Council about the anti social behaviour in these estates, nothing constructive seems to have been done thus far.
Castletroy, Raheen, Dooradoyle and areas in County Limerick seem to be the worst hit in this situation. It is alleged the Council are buying up houses in these areas, right, left and centre! It seems the ongoing problem has now become widespread, rather than confined to one particular area.
Twelve orders of repossession have come before the courts. Another 58 tenants voluntarily surrendered their homes after numerous complaints were made against them. A total of 69 homes have been taken back. via Independent
The Counicl are 'sticking' families in to various estates around the City and people in these estates are at a loss as to who will be stuck alongside them next,
"They seem to be pushing the undesirables out, that nobody wants and nobody has control over," chairman of the Russell Court Residents' Association in Ballykeeffe, Mike Cussen, told the Irish Independent.
"There are anti-social problems everywhere now and the virus has spread. They will stick anyone in on top of you. No one is taking control of the situation," he added.
And what do the local Gardai seem to be doing to combat same?
That's what I'd like to know!

the Depths of this pair!
Lack of regulations....
A former Garda, Denis Kelly, originally based in Henry Street in Limerick, and who served three years of a five year sentence for leaking information to the IRA in 1992, and John Quinn, an IRA gang member involved in the death of Detective Garda Jerry McCabe in 1996 and who served six years for conspiracy to robbery in Adare, Co, Limerick, have set up a debt collection agency, Global Debt Collection Agency. They are registered as directors of the company based in Faha, Co. Limerick.
It seems to be the new business venture for ex prisoners since the onset of the recession! Only last month several individuals were arrested in Dublin following the Garda's organised crime units investigations into criminals involvement in debt collection. One of the first such agencies was the Viper Debt Recovery and Repossession Services, set up by Martin Foley, an associate of Martin Cahill. The Law Reform Commission recommended the regulation of debt collection agencies earlier this year.
Denis Kelly was sentenced to five years back in 1992 after leaking information to the IRA about impending Garda raids. He was caught red handed, taking information from a confidential fax, ordering swoops on IRA arms dumps. He was followed to a phone box by Detectives where he was just in the process of phoning IRA contacts and passing on the information. John Quinn was known as the 'gopher' and 'messenger boy' in 1996 when Detective McCabe was murdered and Ben O'Sullivan, his colleague, seriously injured. Quinn pleaded guilty to conspiracy.

You don't say!
Pleb of the week....
Sergeant Cathal O'Neill came out with this beaut during the week, at Limerick District Court.
There is an apparent ongoing feud *cough* between two parties on the south side of Limerick and he expressed his fear, that this could result in injury. I mean, it doesn't take an ejit to figure that one out now does it!
'someone will be seriously hurt' he said,
"if allowed to continue"
as Homer Simpson would say....... Du'oh!
Files are being prepared on those involved in the feuding factions. The two accused Jonathan Colbert and Christopher Clancy were refused bail and shouted profanities at Judge Olann Kelleher who remanded them in custody until the 1st of September. They were charged in connection with an incident in Weston where it is alleged that two individuals armed with a stick and wheelbrace (sure where would you be going like!) caused criminal damage to a house. There was also an incident on Ellen Street. Gardai have linked the alleged incident to an ongoing dispute.
A Pleb

a CAB ride
"In some places it's known as a tornado. In others, a cyclone. And in still others, the Idiot's Merry-go-round. But around here they'll always be known as screw-boys"Tis like a merry go round, only Noddy and Big Ears wouldn't get a look in!
Way back yonder....
We had Operation Platinum
Lets rewind to that 'massive swoop' back in 2008, the one that was organised the 'day before' *cough*.... the one that left 'no stone unturned'.... the one that Willie Keane said was the 'biggest in the state in a long time'
The one where, according to Willie Keane.... "a culmination of many months work initiated by our assets profilers based locally here in Limerick who profiled the various criminal gangs and criminal elements in the city"
Assets Profilers - all two of em :)
The one where... they apparently searched and raided over 150 homes and commercial premises (Accountancy and Solicitors firms).... (and I use the word 'raid' and 'search' lightly! as it was observed on most of the searches *cough* one plain clothes detective calmly walked into one or two commercial premises and politely asked for files).
And, at the time, Willie O (newly reappointed Minister of Defence at the time) confirmed that members of CAB were preparing to seize houses and other property from known criminals who cannot explain their wealth. "Over the past twelve months CAB have been carrying out a huge investigation into property in Limerick and they have compiled a list of properties where there is no explanation as to how the owners accumulated the money to pay for them,"
Has anything changed in the last two years? Nada! and they are still blowing their own trumpets!
An amount of cash, computers and apparently, documentary evidence, were seized when a number of premises in Limerick, Dublin, Offaly, Kerry and Tipperary were raided during the week by the Criminal Assets Bureau, apparently as part of the usual 'ongoing' investigation into gangland activities in Limerick.
No arrests made..... but the matter will continue to be scrutinised.

The 'revolving' door....
An individual in their 20s was arrested and questioned, Under Section 30 of the Offences agains the State Act, following a handgun seizure in Ballysheedy yesterday, apparently in connection with an ongoing Limerick fued. The seizure was described as 'significant'......
The weapon, believed to be a high-power pistol was recovered in the Ballysheedy area during an intelligence-led operation targeting serious criminal activity in the city - via Irish Times
'intelligence led' ??!?!?!?
yet....
this individual was later released without charge and a file sent to the DPP.

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....
