Vandalised headstones in Bluebell

dublinman1990

Oh FFS. I just read on thejournal.ie today that up to 30 headstones were vandalised at Bluebell Cemetery in Dublin 12 since last friday evening.

Gardai say that there were factories located nearby the cemetery with CCTV cameras installed. Gardai are putting out appeals to the public so they can catch these lowlifes. What kind of subhuman scum does this to innocent families who have their loved ones all buried there? All the families have to pay more money now to get their loved ones headstones replaced because of the actions from these little scrotes. It will make you sick.

Probably the same mentality that mug old people at the SDCoCo Bohernabreena graveyard (Dublin 24), an ongoing issue the Council are fully aware of, and similar again to the fcukwits that burned down a kids playground in Lucan this week.

I remember a few years ago it was posh kids who desecrated a graveyard with graffiti and by smashing some headstones, the judge branded it "teenage hi-jinks" and spared them criminal records.

The "difficult upbringing/problems in the home" defense (often despite multitudinous brushes with the law) is the other side of the same coin.

I know, I'm just pointing out the fact that its not always the "usual suspects."

Just out of interest as I lived very close to a graveyard that use to be vandalised yet there was never a culprit.

What is the motive for this? I understand the idea that drunk teens lose control but it seems a common problem in the resting places of Ireland yet there is nobody on an ego trip saying things like, I wrecked 20 graves in the last month etc

feral youth, they get together as a pack and after a few flagons of cider they with dutch-courage decide to do something wild like vandalise the local community hall or the local graveyard

its all bravado, i remember the same carry on in the 80's

This is a grave situation

I bet if they find out who did it they won’t have to pay a cent towards repairing or replacing the headstones they’ve ruined. My great grandads headstone is still standing in the abbey where some of our family is buried. The headstone is mostly legible and is dated from the 1800’s. We inquired about having it cleaned but we were told it’s too old and would be considered too valuable to clean in case anything happened and it broke. The families of those people whose graves were interfered with must be very upset. Anyone that would disrupt someone’s final resting place is the lowest of the low.

probably a dare... graveyards! Someone should dress up as a ghost, lie in wait.... they would be terrified !

speaking of graveyards, makes me sad to see neglected graves so I bring a trowel out with me and tidy some... hoping someone is doing the same for my family's grave so far away.

Bluebell is a filthy kip over-run with scumbags. You will even get gangs of anti social 10 / 11 year olds setting fire to wheelie bins in peoples gardens. Malnourished horses everywhere, massive gypo site next to the entrance and the shops are a no go area at night due to large teenage gangs.
This doesn't even scratch the surface of what goes on there.
