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

"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.

You overdid it doll

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.
