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!
