Me bollix. The entire Orange Order may look and sound like proud protestants, but that doesn't mean they are all members of the Red Hand Commandos... :pac:

Hur-d-hur. In the 90's, most Dublin pubs, nightclubs and fast food outlets were paying off these gangsters - I'm out of that scene a fair while so I've no idea if it still goes on(ffs of course it does) but if you own a business and some headbanger walks in and announces that you have to hand over a grand a week, over it goes. If you miss, you get beaten, there are fires, expensive windows get broken a lot. Not too funny if you are the recipient and there are some seriously bitter, twisted individuals involved. My sympathy to the business owner and fair dues for having the(serious)balls to go to plod, and congrats for picking the right plod to go to as opposed to a "sympathiser" who would brush it under the carpet. Oh yeah, and yer man will be out in 3, 2 1/2 if he's good. And fish boys life will be a misery. There must be an awful lot of young people here on boards, them and those with short memories. "Donation for the cause" it used to be called...

Shop I worked in during the 90's in the inner city had to pay protection money every week to the local gangster,then the local gangsters protection racket was taken over by the IRA and they charged 4x what the other lad used to.If you were a day late with the money they'd sound round the heavies to break all the shop windows or pour petrol all over the shop and threaten to burn the place down.

The owner at the time was at her wits end so she just closed up at the end of one week and never opened again,no way you'd dare stand up to them lads on you own,fair play for the chipper owner for having the guts to go the Gardai.

QUOTE=CJC999;78328257]Real IRA are actually Provos who are just more retarded that than other provos and had to go out on their own due to their sheer stupidity. They can be recognised by the tatoos of men and guns on their chest/backs/arse.

When they were dreaming up their name in their tree house they decided on the name 'The Real Angry IRA' but none of them knew how to spell Angry and so they shortened it to the Real IRA.[/QUOTE]

tattoos FFS....if you're going to carp (hahaha...CARP) about spelling then at least get your own correct.

This is the ugly, little pea headed face of modern 'IRA'. Albeit with big arms.. scangers just dont suit the cause. if he was the brains of the operation, there must have been no-one else involved

1. The guy who owned the chipper borrowed money from a loan shark.
   
2. The loan shark sold his debt to the Real IRA.
   
3. The Real IRA used the profit to get tattoos done.

It was a pun..... and a bad one like the rest........ shark as in fish ?
oh forget it !!

I'm surprised he pleaded guilty to IRA membership tbh. I assumed it would have been a one man operation.

You bought one of them Vietnamese Pot bellied pigs, didn't you? Ha. Easy to mouth off when you live in the ar5e of nowhere and the only racket you will ever know is chips and a coke in Rackett hall on the way home from the "big schmoke". Try dealing with them, then come back. I'd say they'd make bacon of ya.

Ah sure there's a "ray" of hope in this whole saga. The whiting's on the wall for that loan-"shark". The "bass"stard is in the lockup and I think that's "brill". I know a tough lad inside...Macker is his name and Mackerel sort him out. Feel sorry for yer man though handing over cash to the tuna 260 thousand squid. But then I suppose there's one prawn every minute.

D'ya want fries wit dat?

Capt'n Midnight

And will he have a chip on his shoulder when he gets released ?

As far as I know they're much less likely to a) charge you many times what you borrowed* and b) break your legs.

*The alleged loan was for €30,000, and he paid this 'RA man €264,000 - eight times the amount borrowed.

Lads you would believe anything:D
IT is a VAT Income tax scam...Are ye all in the Gardai or what?:D:D
The tatoos did it your worship.
Was there any bowl movement from the trauma of the exposed tatoos

bit of a downer

Feel sorry for the chipper guy .... but he should have got a garoupa his mates together and taught that shark a lesson before the net closed in. That might have stopped the s'hake downs earlier.

If it is not a tax scam.
The first question a normal person would ask is "Which grouping"

The judge should order an IQ test and when the results come with a score in the High Sixties,sentence him to community service.

Give him a balaclava with Official Collector written on it.
Tell him that he is the head of Ranelagh IRA (RIRA) or Rubbish IRA? and let him clear up empty chip bags and rubbish.
You can put him in charge of a few other Walter Mittys and free some prison cells and psychiatric beds.

Have some Official looking (psychiatric nurse) tell him that the Brits are dropping rubbish from UFOs trying to wipe Ireland off the map and it is his job to save us;)

This could work country wide.
What do you think?
