****ing scum! Giving an honest working man a batin' for a few poxy phones. I hope they are caught from CCTV. I always defend my City but this is the kind of stuff that's indefensible and down right disgraceful.

Hopefully as it was early in the day these knackers will stand out like sore thumbs in the cctv.

When is the last time you were in town? Hoody and Tracksuit bottoms = camoflague.

We need a zero tolerance justice system. If they're underage fine/jail the parents. If they are on social wellfare - stop their payments. If they are out on bail double fines/sentence. If they have kids take them off them. Sterilisation should be considered to prevent them producing more sc*m.

Cnuts!

a few cops walking around would be a good start too..a sight that is rare enough in Limerick during the day imo

The lack of police patroling the streets is ridiculous in Limerick for a city with such a large number of cops.

Gaurds turning up after robberies is f all good. I remember working in a well know off licence in Thomandgate and it got held up, hit the panic alarm that goes straight to Henry street a week later two cops arrived to ask if we got robbed. :rolleyes:

This poor guy will still suffer long after the bruises are healed. Something like that can really knock your confidence.

Sounds odd.

Even if these lowlifes are put before the courts they will probably just add one more offence to the list they already have. Be given a fine, told not to do again and be sent on their way. Our revolving door justice system needs to change in order to send out a clear message to these leaches of society that this behavour is not tolerated.

Why is the city to blame? It's not our fault or the city itself that these people are scum with no morals. That's their sh!t.

Man attacked and tied up but nothing took ? Very strange

Maybe the staff member did not have access to whatever the scum wanted? Or the premises has a time locked safe which could not be accessed at that time?

And the report says that they were in the shop waiting for him? Very strange...

If you go around onto Denmark Street, and somehow get in through the arched gate across from Flannerys and go to the end of the alley there is a fire escape entrance with no door. If you go in this door you can walk to the top of the building but cannot access any of the doors because they are heavily barricaded. Now, if you had the time and the inclination you could spend time breaking in because there would be nobody in any of the adjoining buildings to hear you.

It so little used, the stairs, that there are old Eircell things lying around in there.

When missus was running Baratts they also went out into the Alley so I went "exploring".
