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!!
