Incident in Dublin 3

If they were dead I don't think they'd remove the bodies so quickly?

over in Miami a few years ago I had the chance to use some guns, picked out the biggest handgun they had, looked like dirty harrys gun but its much more powerful. smith&wesson model 500. I used up a box of ammo but was confused for a while because there was 5 bullets per round and not 6 like I thought.

My sources claim 0 dead, 3 injured. 1 was a bouncer and 2 regular people.

I think it sounded alot closer to Barcode from where I was, theres also folks on twitter near the players lounge saying it sounded further away from there!

Barcode bouncers perhaps!

Well folks, we were coming from the docks, towards Clontarf Gardai station. When me and a friend notices 2 Garda cars leaving the station pretty quick. So we went up towards the beach to see a Public order van going very quick towards town.

So we turned around, my mate said barcode. I said if it's not there it's the players lounge.

Anyway wasn't barcode, it was the players lounge. We came from the Richmond road, and right up too the tape across the road. I got a look at the pub. Two chairs outside the pub, and the Garda tape around the chairs and isolating the door area. Also the road was sealed off from the off license at across from the Esso right up too the entrance to the Malahide road.

Still no word on what happened , but there must have been 10-13 Garda cars, so something major most definitely happened.

If it was bouncers shot at over someone been refused entry or what have you. Jesus, I don't like them as much as the next person. That is just bad out, it's just a job.

Just hope no innocent parties where hurt.


Update from facebook;

"yeah the bouncers apperntly...3 shot, 2 dead..."

Doesn't Anthony Stokes' Da own this boozer now? I know it was a very ropey pub a few years back with rumours that The Monk had an involvement in running it

The echo must have traveled some way as the players lounge is nowhere near alfie byrne road.

I know, I was sure myself that it was further towards Clontarf direction as it was so loud from where I was. But I'm 110% sure it was this that I heard, as soon as I heard it I was waiting for the sirens to start and within 2 minutes they did!

Anyway, the wife's curfew was lifted as soon as the sun rose, so I managed to get a few pics from the scene!

flanzer

So the chap that is serious was being chased by the gunman?

ro_chez

Seems bouncer may have been target!

Saw a few garda cars absolutely whipping it through town there about 15 mins ago. Looked like they were heading out that direction

youcrazyjesus!

At least 1 of the victims were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Contrary to earlier reports the 1 o'clock news said all 3 were shot from distance outside the pub. Utter scumbags.

Relatively ok???

I know one of the lads who was shot, and "relatively ok" couldn't be further from the truth.

I've never trusted boards for accurate information, but some of the stuff I've read here so far is sickening.

One line of enquiry is a link between the IRA and Dublin criminals who provide door security for clubs and pubs, So the next time you are paying over the odds for a pint think about where some of that money could be goin to..
