Gardaí in Finglas

az2wp0sye65487

Anyone else notice the amount of extra Gardaí around since the shooting in the Jolly Toper last weekend?

I popped home from work today at lunchtime and was stuck at a checkpoint for a couple of minutes. There were a few uniformed Gardaí, but also a few with BIG guns.

I was also stopped the other night in my car by a Garda car that was driving the opposite way. They put on their bule lights and reversed up the road after me just as I passed. I stoped and when they got to me they just looked and said "wrong person" and drove off!

Now, the thing I can't understand is that they're obviously after someone in particular, having armed Gardaí at a checkpoint.... but they were also pulling people for tax/insurance etc. - And when they'd pull one car in about another 5 would get through unchecked.

Anybody know what's going on??

It's common for them to setup fake tax/insurance check points to poorly disguise their efforts to find a specific person.

Apparently yer man who was shot dead has been released home to be buried. There appears to be a plan to hold a 2 day wake in his honour, at which I presume the Guards expect some fireworks to kick off.

As for where yer man will be buried and more importantly where the session after the burial will be held is unknown as of yet, but I'll be steering clear of any public house in the area for the next week or so anyways.

Good point... hadn't thought of that... Think I'll be having a few quiet nights in myself!

Noticed some outside my house and walking around the south. Few on horses too. Same thing happened after the paddy’s day incident. They where everywhere for a couple of days and disappeared back to wherever they came from.

They were still talking to him when i lost sight of them.

The guys who killed yer man are known to the victim's friends and family and are expected to be killed next week in retaliation according to Gardai I know there. The Gardai are presumably trying to deter them in advance

Its all well and good saying that. But what if an innocent person is mistaken for one of them, and gets shot? It could easily happen...

And it has happened. Getting shot in the arm is no fun afaik.

Apparently funeral will be going back to a GAA hall in Cabra (iirc) so things should be quiet enough.

I tell you one thing, I'm fuckin sick of the police chopper hovering outside my bedroom window for the last few nights. Makes it impossible to sleep :mad:

Dont do nixers for drug barons then.
If people want rid of these animals the people in the community are the only ones that can do it.
The only reason the two dumbrell brothers got convicted a while back was because the witnesses refused to be intimidated.The brothers are in jail forever and the locals are well rid of them.

Too right. The noise of them last night was something else. If they were any closer to the ground, they'd have to obey traffic lights.

Wouldn't want to be the landlord at that afters, all the same. How do you say 'no' to them?

Degsy

There's halloween coming up soon as well.
Allways good for a few shootings,the bangers hide the noise you see.

to the op, the garda are all over finglas to try stop more killings, they are definately looking for particular people, i went through about 12 checkpoints this week and they were more interested in who was in the cars than what was in the window. I believe they are expecting a bloodbath sometime soon.
incidently farmer martins sister had a house party lastnigh after the funeral, it carried on until this evening until somebody died!, an ambulance took somebody out in a body bag earlier, dont know how they died.

dundealgan

At least 20 squad cars, both marked and unmarked, just sped through Ballymun heading towards Finglas about 15-20 mins ago.... Something serious going on there me thinks!!!:eek:::eek:

Is that near the Cappagh House by any chance? I passed there earlier and there was LOADS of people around, Gardaí and an 'ambulance', not an ordinary ambulance, it was more like a silver van with a green light on top and the word 'ambulance' on the front. Think its what they use for removal of bodies...

Hi

I just thought I would read this thred to pass some time before lunch, its an interesting thread and an issue that affects us all. However I want to state how completely disgusted I feel at some of the contributers making light of the death of the young plumber in the Hyland situation. I know you will say that you were just trying to make your point but really there is no excuse for such disrespect.

You should be utterly ashamed.

Last thursday, in 90 mins, i passed a car pulled over by the police on the Ratoath Road (Cabra Side), 3 special branch cars in the car park of Dunnes on Cardiffbridge Road searching a motor bike, and a car pulled over on St. Helena's Road and two guards in tesco, mind you, they were there because some bloke walked out with a plasma screen tv.

But there is huge presence around, last night and the night before they had pulled two cars over outside my house.

Does anyone know where that bloke who are shot in the Topper is from? cos a coffin pulled up on road on tuesday night and there were about 30 cars around all night, i just assumed some old bloke died, seen as i am the youngest person around there

That was nothing to do with it Irishbird. I think from memory your in Valley Park, the northern end.
If so, that was for a young man(early 30's, think 33) who died of a heart attack.

ORLY, 33 poor bloke.

still though, there is no need to blocking my car in and parking all over the place

PatrickDoh

Irishbird are you on medication? In therapy?

If not I suggest you consider both options...

the flananator

Wow, police on horses, corpse ambulances and police helicopters. And I thought people were just joking about Finglas!

I think PatrickDoh pointed out that your comments were heartless.

John Mason

oh right, err..............right, no sorry am still confused. are you allow park across driveways when someone dies?


anyway back on topic, its is actually great around my way at the since they emptied dunsink lane - no police helicopters around my way, its all nice and quiet again

PatrickDoh

Exactly Biko!

You can tell she probably hasnt had a hard day in her life! Then again with a mentality like that every day is probably joyless for her...
