The helpful Gardaí who attended are working nights at the moment and will be spending this very evening working their way through roughly 30 minutes of northbound traffic to see if the toe-rag came through the M50 on the morning of the 'alleged incident'.....

Are you serious? Sounds pretty thorough. Maybe they prefer that to being out in the squad.

Hopefully now...

As long as everybody is videotaping everybody else, justice will be done

OP any updates on this. I hope this gets sorted out for you.

She's been really bang on about all of it. And hard at work. People in immediate need of assistance taken priority - I know, I've been phoning for the past two weeks....The only chance she'll get to sift through the tape/CD is late at night, if people give them a break. Unfortunately it's a reality that Finglas Garda and Fire Brigade are the busiest per man/woman in Dublin, by all accounts.

Anyway, credit where it's due, they're taking care of business, mine and everyone elses.... I'll let you know if it's yay or nay soon as I hear.

Looks like the Gardaí have done the business - The M50 footage has been reviewed and they have a plate. It's going to be a long and protracted process to bring the guy to justice though, as he's outside our jurisdiction unfortunately. That said, I'll take a civil suit against him in the UK or NI if it comes down to it - My back's not been right for the last 4 weeks and I've been losing sleep as a result, and I'm told that could last for a very long time

Anyway - This one's going to take some time, so maybe a moderator can close this thread in a bit, and I'll open a new thread down the line just to bring everyone up to speed on how it all works out?

Thanks again all, and herself says kiitos (thanks) too,

Glad to hear that at least there is a squint of light at the end of the tunnel.

Hope it all goes well for you and your back comes right.

Owen

Glad to hear you have the Culprit. And I think I speak for everyone when I say I hope he gets his just desserts, and you get some R&R.

RoundyMooney

I am glad to hear this, Gil.

Kudos to the garda who knuckled down and got a result. It's often forgotten, but should always be commended, that members of the force (and emergency services) do a sterling job day in and day out.

If you go down the legal route, it would be best to lock this, and reopen/link to it down the line when the situation gets resolved.

Guy:Incognito

Thats good news.

I'd love to see his face when he realises he's been traced.

patrickc

great, thankfully the gardai have done their job and hope it goes well from here on in

Exellent news if a bit daunting too - law and lawyers are'nt to be taken lightly.

Glad to hear the LR has been identified. Obviously it won't get sorted out straight away, but I hope knowing that the culprit has been identified is some consolation.

Manic Moran

Excellent news. I'm sure PSNI will be more than willing to help out as soon as they see a photo of the Vit.

delighted he's been found on CCTV. Garda and PSNI co-operate all the time with regards to drivers from north & south misbehaving in the north or south.

so they will be able to track him pretty quickly for you to bring your civil suit against him.

WindSock

Good. I was just thinking of it earlier today. Now the wheels are in motion (no pun originally intended

Dave!

Wow, you did well to get out of that wreck unscathed! :eek: Can't believe that low-life didn't have the sack to stop.

Glad to hear they got a reg, and I hope you get every penny you want out of him. Hopefully you and your missus aint too traumatised by the whole thing. Certainly can't have been a pleasant experience

Good luck to ya anyway and keep us posted -- we're nosey buggers!

paulie.walnuts

Excellent news gilly and hope you're feeling better soon and sleeping well.

Malice

That is fantastic news. Glad you have something to progress with. I wish you the best of luck with the whole process!

RedorDead

Brilliant news, only thinking about this when driving to the airport via the M50 at 5.15 the other morning. Hope the twit gets what he/she has coming to them.

Raytown Rocks

Thats great news, delighted that the WANKER ( sorry to curse but it makes my blood boil that someone would do such a thing) was found.
Does this mean I can now stop checking every dark Land rover that I pass by on the road, I swear to god every time I saw one I thought of this thread.

Hope it all works out for you.

I'll leave it open so feel free to update us with any developments here on the thread

MercMad

Just reading the updates, for some reason I hadn't envisaged that the wreck would be so bad !

Thank God you both escaped with your lives and that now it appears progress is being made ! The boys in blue deserve a lot of credit for their work and sometimes I feel we berate them too much on here !

Hope it works out !

Okay lads, The statements been made to the Gardaí and they've provided me with the information I need to take a civil case if required. They're approaching the relevant authorities and will request an international arrest warrant be issued.... I'm chuffed. I'll let you know how it all works out. Cheers, Gil

Well done in persuing this.

Best of luck with the case and hope your back is feeling better.

Same here,great to hear they've been tracked down. Was getting tired looking at the rear end of every Land Rover I came across. God I was probably checking out LR's that weren't even the right model but still worth the effort.

What about the first Boards.ie public stoning.:D


All the best on the road to recovery.

Gil,

Fan-Bloody-Tastic news....told ya he would be done for it!

Like I said before i'm claims investigator in an insurance company, if you need advise or help, just shout !

Best of luck with the recovery.

When you say he is outside the juristiction, is he in the north or the UK. Remember the north is only an hour away and it is very simple to pop up and have a chat with someone....
