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.

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.......

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.

Change the record..

Nine men in their 20's and 30's were arreseted this morning in Limerick, suspected of links to  organised crime  with seven held under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act and can be detained for up to a period of seven days. One under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, and one under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, in order to 'curb' gang related activity.

Apparently up to 100 Gardai and the ERU, including officers from the Nation Bureau of Criminal Investigation were involved in this so called 'pre planned operation'.  Sure, aren't all their operations 'pre planned'?!?

Nothing recovered but gardai said searches would continue throughout the day.

"It was a planned operation under the new legislation to deal with criminal gangs, so it's probably one of the first of its kind in the country," Chief Superintendent David Sheahan told the Limerick Leader.

"It's a major offensive against serious criminal activity in the city".

Nothing recovered - well considering those involved in crime knew that they would be coming, considering ALL the publicity in the media in recent weeks, about a so called clamp down on crime! Forewarned is forearmed eh!

Does Commissioner Murphy and Minister Ahern think we are all plebs?  A crack down, my arse!

Tis a 'craic' Garda Unit all right! :>)

I'd like to actually see them arrest a big cheese!

 
When some people are born they get a ticket to a freak show. When you're born in Limerick, you get a front row seat!
