Well this is what it is republican dissidents cannot operate within NI without M15 /Special branch watching their activities, they have hardly any support (apart from a few spastics in the house at the end of the row)in dirty derry, almost non exsistent in greater belfast area. The only place were these organisations can hold any sway is counties like mayo because if the boys over the border act naughty they ll be joining they're comrades in roes house. They 'll throw there weight about "mayo brigade real ira" but all their every going to be useful for is stroking a van to give to some dublin **** to bring over the border to give to some norn irish dissident whos a tout and tells the peelers about the whole operation!!

She was home alone and her children were asleep upstairs, it must have been very scary for her, it's not a laughing matter tbh.

I agree with you.

howeeeeeeeevvvver, why is making jokes at this off-limits whilst other things are not? How many threads have been posted about a famous person dying and que tons of sick jokes? ... in fact, I can't help but think if this story was about a politician it would be jokes galore or even better yet if this was a story about a junkie and his wife being attacked at home it would be "fair game"

Double standards?

I wonder if we would have heard this story if they were not pissed off over cuts?

a lot of these idiot local scum are into drug-dealing and many are finding out the hard way that they are now in over their heads.
as a Garda friend of mine once told me you should see the look of sheer panic on their faces when they lose a small consignment, especially if they don't have the readies to replace it.
he said youl'd almost feel sorry for 'em.

I think it's more to do with the fact that the guy was presumably targeted because of his work, work which is focused on helping people. It implies a certain level of action criminals are now willing to escalate to in order to preserver their lifestyle, a level which is very disturbing.

From me or from the papers? It's worth pointing out that this isn't the first time that a Garda has been followed home or harassed while off duty, it's just the first time I've read about it. It's also an escalation in the level of harassment.

most of these idiots still live at home with their mammys, and the lifestyle you refer to involves driving around in a nissan micra with a bean can exhaust and a few go-fast stripes, whilst enjoying a few cans of cheap cider, dressed in penny's or dunne's latest chav-gear.

hardly the Corleones.:D
