A few clowns short of a circus?
Judge Tom O'Donnell has been nominated by the Government for appointment to the Circus Court, er Circuit Court :) Tom had been on perch in the District Court for nigh on 12 years. Twas only recently that a brazen article, namely John Dundon created a bit of a fracas down there and referred to Tom as a 'clown'.
Beep Beep
We've had Muppets, Parrots and sure why not bring on the Clowns.....
John and his brother Wayne were accused of threatening to kill two female individuals at a house on Hyde Road in April of this year *cough* , one of those individuals being the ex girlfirend of Ger Dundon. April Collins, called the Gardai to notifiy them of the threats and made a detailed statement.
April Showers.......
April dumped Ger Dundon for a convicted rapist, Thomas O'Neill , and it seems poor aul Ger couldn't accept this and move on. He is 'alleged ' to be heartbroken. O'Neill himself was recently charged with threatening to kill a father and son earlier this month. It is alleged that Wayne and John then issued a chilling death threat to the ex. Ger himself was given a five year prison sentence earlier this year for trying to extort money from Mark Heffernan. The gangster's moll, a classy bird?! *cough* was charged last year with intimidating a witness in a major investigation into crime in Limerick City. She followed a woman (who is a relative of Mark Heffernan) into Penneys, where the alleged incident took place. For better or worse eh.... April and Ger were due to be married last April. April admitted intimidating said woman.
but... she avoided a prison sentence for threatening a potential witness in May this year after the Judge was told that she was 'under the influence of members of an organised criminal gang' and the Judge was told that she has since 'broken all ties' with said gang.
Gardai gave evidence on April's behalf that she was an impressionable woman and easily influenced...... *cough*. Judge Carol Moron then gave April a three year suspended sentence.

The deadliest BULLSHIT is odorless and transparent...
"Apparently people don`t like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bullshit, then maybe just once, one of them will say, `Oh! Wait a minute - I was wrong". I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you"Superintent Frank O'Brien is quoted as saying ..."We have a skilful, committed workforce and there has been a year on year reduction in crime..."
A year on year reduction in crime???? Bullshit!
This was in response to a recent announcement by the new Garda Commissioner, Martin Callinan, that the budget for tackling organised crime will be cut more than half. Operation Anvil will be cut from €21m to €10m. Superintendent Frank No Brain *cough* doesn't see it as a problem at all at all! Sure why would he? they failed to tackle anything in the first instance! And, Martin Callinan, who not so long ago pledged to clean up Limerick and sort out the escalating crime problems...
It gets my goat when people like this talk shite...
It was only last December that Superintendent David Sheehan announced that there would be more donuts to go round :)

cutbacks
It is 'alleged' that over the past number of years, that there are in excess of 600 Gardai now based on Limerick.
Now that the Department of Justice are on a budget *cough*, it is anticipated that the number of Gardai are expected to drop significantly countrywide in 2011. However, Chief Super David Sheehan maintains that Limerick won't be affected...... (not that anyone would notice anyway!!)
I guess that means there will be more donuts to go round! The ring of power eh :)

a VICIOUS circle..
It was just a few months ago that 67 convicted criminals were released . Dean Barry (a convicted rapist) was one such criminal released in February..... He barely served 5 years of a 9 year sentence.
In September he pleaded guilty to assault on July 9th this year (not too long after his 'early' release!)
"Arising out of the incident on July 9 last, the accused also faced public order charges for his “violent outburst in the garda station”. Barry was alleged to have headbutted a door and was re-arrested and restrained after his initial release" via Limerick Post
Barry has 32 previous convictions including public order offences, assault, false imprisonment, and theft.
He was involved in the horrific gang rape and brutal attack in Cratloe Woods in 2004 and received a ten year sentence, with the final year suspended. He was sixteen at the time. Those involved (Thomas O'Neill 16, Darragh Ryan 16, Jason Ring 14 and Stephen Barry 24) were armed with screwdrivers, a wheel brace and a shovel. They have over 100 previous convictions between them. They took turns raping the woman, and assaulting and locking her boyfriend in the boot of a car and assaulting him with golf clubs. They shouted "we’re riding your bird" as the woman was repeatedly raped. Dean Barry was placed on the Sex Offenders Register.
"The courtroom was strained with tension. Among those listening to the woman's words were the four teenage boys who had serially raped her after locking her boyfriend in the boot of his car at four o'clock on a January morning in Cratloe Woods, Co Clare" via Independent.
"Supt John Kerin, who led the investigation said he had never come across a case of such violence in his 27 years service.“The acts perpetrated on both victims were unbelievable,” he said." - via The Clare People
Barry had the last year of his sentence suspended and was given early release .
Barry (now 22) was back before the Court again last week for failing to notify Gardai of where he was living, which is compulsory for those on the Sex Offenders Register. He was arrested in a more than inebriated state. He was also before the court on public order offences that occurred the 4th of November. He was sentenced to four months by Judge Tom O'Donnell
Four months....... I think that says it all doesn't it!!

Flatulence
He loses his thanks who promises and delays............
Chief Superintendent David Sheehan has promised to continue to tackle the major drug players in Limerick. He was speaking at a recent meeting of the Joint Policing Committee. According the The Chief, the Gardai won't be getting complacent *cough*
His words come just as one individual who was arrested in connection with a recent heroin seizure is released..........
Oaths are but words, and words but wind. eh

Just a system?
Vicky Griffin from O'Malley Park, Southill was handed down a two year suspended sentence earlier today for possession of a double barrell sawn off shot gun and a 22 caliber rifle in her attic. She had pleaded guilty to the crime.
Her house was searched back in 2007 where the guns were discovered. She told the Gardai that she was aware there was something in her attic. She apparently told them 'I saw it when I was taking down the Christmas tree' and 'you don't say no to these people'.
According to the Garda that was involved in the search of her house and questioning afterwards, and who also gave evidence earlier, he said that she was in fear of her life and was under threat from 'evil and sinister people' who forced her to store the guns in her attic. She would not divulge to Gardai the name of the individual who placed the guns in the attic. This particular member of An Garda Siochana praised her for being a good mother, said she maintained a good house and her house was in good order. What the feck that has to do with the fact that she allowed the storage of firearms in her attic is beyond me!! She has two children, and obviously wasn't too concerned for their welfare and safety, allowing dangerous weapons like that in the household.
The court was told that she was not on the Garda radar 'so it was a convenient safehouse for the storage of the weapons'........ yet somehow, somewhere along the line, she did come into Garda radar, considering there was a raid and search on her house! Brian McInerney for the Defence maintained 'wicked, evil and sinister people would have inflicted serious if not lethal harm had she refused.'
It was mentioned that she had two previous convictions, but these were very quickly brushed over and quickly described as minor. Vicky was not questioned during court today, all converstation and talking was conducted by Counsel, and a member of an Garda Siochana sided 100% with her story.
Judge Carroll Moran maintained it would be unjust to impose an immediate custodial sentence and suspended a two year sentence for two years.
It was observed by a number of people afterwards that a very conspicuous handshake was undertaken between Vicky Griffin and said Garda!
So there you go folks..... another laughable lack of sentence handed down in Limerick. Aint it grand to be on the good side of the Gardai and have them sound your praises in court! Reminds me of the case of Hanora Ryan a while back.. She received a four year suspended sentence for possession of over €60,000 worth of drugs in her bedroom wardrobe and she also had a member of an Garda Siochana, a Detective, sound her praises, when he heard that Hanora could possibly be involved.

a Baby boom?
Gardai are investiging a shooting in St. Mary's Park in the wee hours of this morning. The injured party is alleged to have been shot in the back and taken to the Regional, but later discharged.
It now transpires that it was one Liam 'Baby' Kelly Liam 'Baby' Kelly , who was due to appear in court today in relation sentencing for possession of heroin. Baby's Doctor appeared on his behalf claiming Baby had been shot and assaulted and claiming he was unfit to attend court. Baby is the brother of Aidan Kelly who was shot 2006.
It was only in March of this year!! that Baby and Robert Crawford pleaded guilty to a break in at Newcastlewest Autos and received six month sentences.
Baby has a bit of a history...
In 2007 he was sentenced to three months for failing to stop for the Gardai , he was shot at three times, and was involved in a bit of a fracas and accused of shooting Ian Brennan. He went forward for trial in 2008 in relation to the Brennan incident, for possession of a shotgun and attempt to endanger life. It was alleged Baby and Brennan argued over a girl, Baby's girlfriend (Leanne Campbell McNamara) , who was seemingly involved with both of them. Brennan gave evidence to say he was shot in the back and in the stomach by Baby. Not the first time there was an attempt on Brennan's life .
Ian Brennan had been out socialising with his friends Philip Collopy and Brian Scanlon. Brennan said he was 110% certain it was Baby. The jury failed to reach a verdict after three days and in 2009 he was up before the court again. Philip Collopy gave evidence stating ' sure I get shot at every week". Collopy, Brennan's friend stated the g unman's face was covered. Baby was acquitted. Collopy accidentally shot himself a couple of months later.

Infected
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
One who's inferior intelligence results in them making a complete titface out of themselves in public

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....

so long and thanks for all the fish...
Fuckology of the week....
Remember that 'extensive' Garda investigation?
What a 'cop' out, but predictable by the DPP.
Gardaí have completed their extensive (my arse!) *cough* investigation, and as a result the DPP have decided that Willie O has no case to answer.
The DPP is not going to prosecute Willie O in relation to the sworn affidavit he made, that inevitably led to his demise from Government.
The whole shebang centred around the infamous 'brothelgate' wherein he allegedly made false allegations that Maurice Quinlivan, Sinn Fein, had links to a brothel in Limerick.
I wonder what would have happened if Willie O had remembered the name of that Gard! now there's the burning question!
Willie O said he had been informed by a Senior Garda Officer of the decision.
“The allegation was one of perjury, which means I deliberately and knowingly gave an untrue version of accounts in an affidavit. I knew I hadn’t done that" via Irish Times
The investigation of the meaning of words is the beginning of education.....

I wonder what would have happened if Willie O had remembered the name of that Gard! now there's the burning question!
Willie O said he had been informed by a Senior Garda Officer of the decision.
“The allegation was one of perjury, which means I deliberately and knowingly gave an untrue version of accounts in an affidavit. I knew I hadn’t done that" via Irish Times

wouldn't you know.....
Up to 20 Gardai tried to break up a late night riot, involving over a dozen travellers, most of whom were from Limerick! at Magee Barracks site (owned by the Department of Defence, now derelict) in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Gardai were deployed from Kildare, Newbridge and Naas. Sticks, hurleys and iron bars were drawn and bottles flung at Garda cars, and it was apparently necessary for the Gardai to use their batons, although no serious injuries were reported.
Only two individuals were detained and they are due to appear before Kildare DC July 22nd next.
A riot is the language of the unheard....

"It's how they make a living"....
Four flower selling Romanian women, from Tipperary and Athlone, received a three month sentence, suspended for one year, for stealing an inebriated mans wallet whilst he lay slumped and distracted on the street, in the early hours of last Saturday morning. They pleaded guilty to the charges of theft. One of the Romanian women has previous convictions for theft. It was alleged that three of them surrounded the inebriated man while one of them stood watch and acted as a look out.
Their legal advisor, Sarah Ryan Solicitor, acknowledged that these women took advantage of this man but claimed that the inebriated man had initially handed them some change when his wallet fell to the ground and they apparently picked it up!
Tom O'Donnell wanted to know what they were doing on the streets of Limerick when they were based in Tipperary and Athlone, to which Sarah Ryan replied..........(this has to be quote of the week!)....
Maybe it's down to flower power!
It was not too long ago, only last week in fact, that two other Romanian woman were before the court for prositution. Plain clothes Gardai watched (sure aren't they doing a lot of watching these days! *cough*) the women for a period of time as they approached cars. They were arrested and their defence was that they were unable to find work and had children to fend for. They pleaded guilty and O'Donnell remanded the matter to the 13th of October, stating that the matter would be struck out if there were no further charges.

"It's how they make a living"So.......does that make theft all right then?!?!? Tom O'Donnell seems to think so!

Faulty towers?!?
Faulty effin towers wouldn't get a look in!
The Roman Vysochan murder trial had to be moved from Limerick to Tipperary earlier today, due to the 'required facilities not being available in Limerick'!. Remote video evidence/testimony from a witness was required in the case.
The jury will be transported by bus to Nenagh Courthouse to hear the video evidence.
Does anything work in Limerick?
Anthony Mason and John O'Loughlin deny the murder charge. Roman was stabbed to death in May 2008.
