Weston Airport never had a permanent customs station. Customs could show up to do searches but they rarely did. It was the perfect spot to engage in international drug imports, a legitimte airport with no customs presense. When Mansfields plane was caught with heroin onboard the flight had come from Belgium and the value of the drugs was put at €50m. That was in 2006, he had already owned the airport for six years by the time there was a drugs bust.

As for how Mansfield got the airport well he made his fortune as a scrap metal dealer in the Falkland Islands after the 1982 war. The British Army had thousands of pieces of machinery left over and he bought them for a pittance before exporting for profit. After that he bought up large swathes of land around Lucan & Citywest before building his hotel of the same name.

The heroin was discovered on the plane in Belgium. I don't think there was ever a seizure in Weston.

I worked on the Northside back in 2001/2002 and the job involved working on Garda cars now and again. Cops would wait for the car most of the time and you would get yapping to them.

I remember a middle aged detective one day and somehow Jim Mansfields name came up. I genuinely didn't know who he was at the time but the dick face darkened and he said something along the lines of he'd shoot him in the head if he had half a chance. I remember being a bit shocked at the time.

He was obviously well known even then.

anyone ever hear of the Rolls Royce Phantom pulling up and an UZI been fired out the window at a travellers site (Allegedly)
or the Old Woman who had everything signed over on her death bed (Allegedly)

Not only that there was heroin found on a private jet which was leased to Jim Mansfield himself. I think it is obvious what was going on there and palms must have been greased. As for political connections Fianna Fail always held their Ard Fheis in the Citywest Hotel back in the boom. Jim Mansfield and Liam Lawlor were close. Also Jim Mansfield son was arrested a while back for having 4,000 rounds of ammunition, not sure whatever came of it but he said he needs it for his own protection.

Some of Mansfield's friends leave a lot to be desired!

Which Garda Commissioner was this? The same one involved in a property deal in Ashbourne with a well know criminal?

At least the Belgian customs were on the ball, our own lot clearly were not.

This Statement is Borderline Racism Wayne.

Are you standing on the border?

Parts of the post are racist, parts presaging a future where descendents of the people who were housed in the likes of mosney will seek to understand where they came from.

Their ancestors will have come to Ireland in search of a better life, a safer life in some cases, a first world life.

When people started to come to Ireland to claim asylum in numbers, early to mid 1990's they also came to other European countries.

So you see the same pattern in places as far as Finland at the same time.

All the while persecution is being used as a reason. Persecuted people would generally find it difficult to travel. Persecuted people are in prison or are monitored.

We have in a great many cases been had.

Will that be worthy as marking it with a statue, I think not.

The same type of person who is also known as "Mr AB" in a recent murder trial involving a brother and sister!

He had power before getting in with Bertie.

In business.

I worked with a close relative of his in a company that would use port daily.

The person got the job that never was and drove a car above the pay grade.

No one could understand why they were there.

Do you recon he might want to go inside for a while as I’m sure his life is in immediate danger with all the bridges he’s burned.
No other explanation as to carry on like this in daylight.

He got coked out of it and went out playing with his new toy. You could say he pressed the self destruct button. Firing on gardai? Has to be 10 years surely?

Red_Wake

I assume there'll be updates on vigilante activities in this thread.

Any chance of a p.m. for the curious amongst us I had to disable my Facebook the other day because a local business owner didn't like a review I left about his new enterprise and threatened to sue me anyway that's a story for another day.

Could be something in this. I heard he also had a grenade. Coked off his tits, with a grenade, shooting at Gardai! He might have wanted to be taken out. If only he had sorted his recyclables.

Jeff2

He was instatutionlised from being locked up so long in his life.
The judge will see it as punishment to let him off.

Dante7

What will happen to them?? Jaysus, the naivety of some people. All that has been waiting to happen was for a half connected family to get involved. There's a city full of lads just itching for an excuse to let loose with bats.
