Ye...They are probably from the CSO. Again, I realize CSO and guards counting skills not exactly Einstein level, but here I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Why? The CSO gets them from the Garda...

More recently...

It has emerged that the number of sex crimes recorded by gardaí annually between 2003 and 2016 was overstated in 12 out of the 14 years examined. In 2003, the figure reported was 26% higher than the reality.

That does not necessarily mean there were fewer crimes committed, however. Rape crisis workers say it more likely means an inflated impression has been given of the number of sexual offences that victims actually report.

It would be interesting to see the cases per head of population and compare Dublin 15 and West Dublin in general to a rural area.

Yeah although the number affected is down to around a thousand now so some have their power back. Unfortunately for me, I’m not one of them though!

Just got off a bus on the hartstown road and after the secondary school it's pure darkness no lights on the main road or around that area. The last place with electricity seems to be the beechwood and meadow areas.

There's diggers doing something in the green area on the way up to the petrol station but other than those lights it's scary out there!

Shots fired in Woodlands Estate off the BLakestown Road over the weekend. I read another article about the same thing stating that armed Gardai were now protecting a family who had gotten caught up with some up and coming gang in the area :rolleyes:

An attack on a girl on Saturday night at Centra on Huntstown Way?

Also supposedly all forensic teams and that set up over the weekend at the tunnel between Blanch Garda Station and Corduff - anyone know what happened there?

I know a man's body was found in Corduff last week but I'm not sure if it was exactly in that area.
I also saw something on Facebook about a girl being robbed at knifepoint for her bag and phone in the area, that might have been the one at Huntstown?

Edit: that man's body was found last Tuesday so it might have been something else being investigated over the weekend.

Could be something to do with the man who was found dead in Greenridge after impaling himself on a fence. Those tunnels aren't too far from where he was found.

I was jogging in that park yesterday and had to turn around at the Garda cordon which went as far as past the river culverts.

It's up at the top, last right turn before you hit the barriers where they closed off the top entrance (near Waterville). In there and it's the cream building on your left iirc
