Some people are like Slinkies - not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs

According to the Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commission's  report  in excess of 2000 complaints were made last year. The report states that one Garda was convicted and just another 146 were disciplined as a result of those complaints.

We propose it, we massage it, and we often have to RAM it

Members of the ERU and Regional Support Unit were involved in a high speed chase in the vicinity of Drombanna, Ballyneety, Co. Limerick, earlier today. It is alleged that they foiled a suspected revenge gangland attack, after they finally rammed the suspect car off the road. A firearm and a quantity of ammunition were seized and four individuals in their 20's (one female, three males) arrested. During the fracas, a member of the ERU was injured. He received facial injuries, after being hit by the car door, and was taken to the Regional Hospital, Limerick. Two suspects received superficial injuries.

The Garda Siochana Ombudsman are investigating and the incident was referred by the Garda Commissioner under Section 102 of the Garda Siochana Act 2006.

It is alleged the McCarthy Dundon gang were planning a revenge attack on one of their rivals following a   shooting  incident on Monday...

Passers by were shocked to see weapons(guns) produced and drawn and onlookers were told to take cover and stay behind their vehicles as the ERU ordered the occupants out of the car and to put their hands up.

Muppet in a Uniform

Michael Considine, St. Mary's Park, was before Judge O'Donnell charged with breaching the Public Order Act following an altercation  with a member of the Garda Siochana on Nicholas Street back in January. Considine has 27 previous convictions. O'Donnell sentenced him to two months in prison, following his refusal to apologise to the court and take to the witness box, along with his extensive use of profanities and calling said Garda a 'muppet in a uniform'!

Considine was cycling along Nicholas Street when Garda Manton, whilst driving a patrol car, came just a little to close for comfort, i.e. according to Considine. Words were apparently exchanged and Garda Manton in turn arrested Considine. Considine's Solicitor, Ted McCarthy, said that his client Considine had apologised for the altercation, and the fact that the case was brought before the District Court. During a brief stand, it was understood that Considine would take to the witness box but instead sat in the public gallery and refused to do so. O'Donnell then sentenced Considine to two months in prison because he didn't avail of the opportunity to publically apologise.

That was a great number, I've always liked pantomime...

One flew over the Cuckoooooos Nest

One  flew over the  cuckoos  nest...

Gardai have apparently tipped off the  British  police that Wayne Dundon has taken flight to Britain in recent days with his wife and kids to 'avoid' heavy Garda surveillance.  (well the ole Garda chickeloni couldn't be paying that much attenention to him eh, considering that most of their resources have gone into  raiding   brothels  in recent weeks and months!). 

Gardai maintain the constant 'in your face' surveillance was getting to much for Wayne and that he was cracking up.  Wayne on the other hand maintains that he was being  harassed  by the Gardai.  I think the only ones cracking up are the Gardai eh, he's driving them 'cuckoo' with all the farting around and media hype!

It shall never be said, whilst I am bailiff of Southampton, that any waster, riever, draw-latch or murtherer came scathless away from me and my posse.

Composting...

..the next thing in waste management.


Niall Collins, TD, defends gun crime record! (this is the same ejit that called on Commissioner Murphy to get rid of Boyce, insisting that the GRA  need to apologise to the Irish people  following the  nixers debacle )

He maintains that the overall reduction in reported crime is evidence enough that the Gardai have enough resources to deal with same, and that tougher legislation has helped with reduction in crime rates! Tougher legislation?!? (hang on whilst I pick my bod up off the gawd damn floor!) The judiciary are not utilising the laws already in existence for years, not to mind so called 'other legislation'. They haven't even touched on that yet! What a load of compost! and as I've said before....  denial  aint just a river in Egypt!

His comments are in response to a  report   issued recently by Dr. Liz Campbell, (she studied as a Government of Ireland Scholar at UCC) Academic at Aberdeen University . She believes that more Gardai are needed to patrol the streets, particularly in Limerick and Dublin.  The report stated that Limerick needs more Gardai on the streets to tackle gun crime.  Her findings 'Responding to Gun Crime', published in the Brisish Journal of Criminalogy.  She has written quite a bit on the criminal justice process.

Denial aint just a river in Egypt!

''Remarkable' decrease in crime in 2010.

Chief Superintendent David Sheehan and his team at Henry Street Garda Station have made big inroads in curbing crime in the region (via this week's Limerick Post). 

I guess that's why they drafted in the  ERU  again ! *Cough* !

He was praised by county councillors for his achievements with councillor James Collins saying "we asked for someone who could hit the ground running and that's what we got".

Sheehan maintains that the number of incidents reported were down on last year.......

Pretty in Pink?

A bit of a do....

This is a very volcanic ensemble your wearing
Volcanic?
Well, you know. Hot, dangerous.

Wayne   Dundon managed to stop traffic in the vicinity of the People's Park, Limerick, on Saturday with the, er, lavish?! horse drawn  cinderella carriage laid on for his daughter's first Holy Communion.  He boldly posed for photographs (wearing a pink shirt, colour coordinated!) with his family, admist onlookers and gathering papparazzi.  The whole affair would have cost in the region of €8,000. Not short a a few bob now is he?  Jazus life on the dole is a hooley by the looks of it!


His brother Dessie is brewing up a storm since his transition to the Joy earlier this year.  The  drugs business is booming, apparently, since he moved in!

"In the days after he arrived at the prison, the volumes of drugs being thrown over the wall and into the yard jumped dramatically," 

Kenneth Dundon, father of said crtiminals *cough* (the ole apples don't fall far from the tree, do they!), stuck his head in and showed face at his grandchild's communion (recently released from UK prison).

And, admidst all that... Wayne lodged a complaint to Gardai in relation to an interview Steve Collins gave to Donal McIntyre, aired on TV3 last year.  Wayne felt 'threatened' and subsequently, Gardai hauled Steve Collins in for questioning to Henry Street Garda Station.  Looks like he is using 'reverse psychology' of the law!  

In Crime Capitals, Donal McIntyre showed Mr Collins a YouTube clip in which John Dundon and Nathan Killeen, leading members of the McCarthy-Dundon gang, appeared to mock the Collins family. When Mr Collins was asked what he would do if his family was attacked again, he allegedly replied that he would do the same to them, eliciting Wayne Dundon's complaint (Limerick Leader)

Then we have the likes of Mayor Kevin Kiely calling for CAB/Government to investigate where the moola came from in the first instance!  I mean, come on!  Duh! It doesn't take a genius to figure that one out, like! :)

Errrrrrrrratic Response Unit

Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts.

Accountability breeds  response   -ability.

A young Limerick man alleges he was shot at by the ERU last week.  What is strange about this story is that he claims a plain clothes member of the unit emerged from bushes wearing a hoodie and brandishing a gun in a threatening manner (now that's not leading a good example to all the hooded scumbags in Limerick now is it?!?) :o>   and then fired at him when he started to run.  He was subsequently arrested and brought to Roxboro Garda Station and released a short time later.    There was no indication from the individual that emerged from the bushes that they were indeed a member of the Gardai. 

“He thought that his life was in danger so he ran away from what he thought was a gunman”.

According to Roxboro Garda Station there is an incident under investigation and the Garda ombudsman have been informed.
