    The whistleblower on twitter saying he told everyone about the Iranian in January. How does this lad know so much.

    He also made a good point about the getaway car yesterday being bought before all 3 murders. They bought it for a reason.

    Because he's involved in the scene and at a high level

    He’s only a patsy.

    All you have to do is look at who the Garda commissioner is and you'll understand why all of the Garda resources are put into surveillance of ex IRA men and other lads where once seen as a treat to the other side of the border than the scumbag ruining the streets here,

    Harris has no intrest in the safety of the general public at all, he has his own agenda's ,

    I was at a remembrance in a graveyard down the country not to long ago,
    It was the dead mans 80th birthday he had a bit of a past in the North and there was armed Garda everywhere

    I'd say out of the 30 people there 2 max where about that life and no intent in any trouble or issues that day , .

    Then no Garda presence at all yesterday at the wake of man who was involved in a on going feud ?

    Makes no sense, shows what the Garda's priority is ,

    Theyre doing that deliberately to hide their true identity, so many men and woman have been accussed of running the account and there's money on for identifying them, no-one can because they're clever than they're letting on.

    iv always heard that but mostly form Sinn Feinn heads so took it with a pinch of salt,

    I wouldn't be interested in crime or republican activity that but am a distance relative so took the kids down for a bit of a history lesson and ended up being asked why I was there ,You can imagine my shock when I question by a Garda with a machine gun, that over kill if you ask me ,

    Also strange a few weeks after Harris arrived all of a sudden these private companies where using heavies from the north with Balaclava's on to conduct evictions of this side of the border , with no question's form the Garda

    One of the vans used in the eviction in Dublin that was all over the news was once registered to the Manchester police bit odd don't you think ,

    I agree with this, as long as I can remember the gardai well the top brass anyway have had a hard on for Republicans and now that Drew Harris is in charge I'd expect it to be ramped up even more so, i Dont really see the same with the more common criminals though.

    See the guys locked up this week as part of a ra interrogation unit? They were taxiing in guys to a house in Castleknock to find a snitch... But the Gardaí had full audio recordings of the whole thing :)

    Probably something to do with the fact that common crims tend to provide information to save their own skins and are more useful than tight lipped shinners.

    Totally agree, it has to be someone involved in gathering intelligence for the Gardai.

    He knows way too much inner circle stuff for it to be a rival gang member and he can't be hacked or traced by one of the richest drug gangs in the world that he is a thorn in the side of.

    No way there is an ordinary Joe Soap behind that account.

    I dont know about shinners being tightlipped, a fair few ra heads were turned fairly easily in their heyday.

    The car was bought from a motor dealer on the southside and we are aware of the person who purchased it but we are looking at its use from the period of time since May 20.

    A major gangland criminals tiger kidnapping trial collapsed last year after shenanigans with the jury. Someone decided he didn't need to be tried in the non jury specials court. And the jury collapses his trial. Funny the luck some people get :)

    Christy was a barstool republican in his drinking days. A bit like Brendan Behan except he didn’t write books. He was never entrusted with doing anything except maybe selling AnPhoblacht in pubs on a Saturday night.

    Christy seems a sound enough fella and a decent councillor. He nearly got in the Dail a few years ago

    He certainly wasnt important enough to warrant a seat on the helicopter ride out of the joy anyway.

    Christy was far from a Barstool. He was the Laighin Executive of the provos, which is the command of Leinster. Good try though.
