    Was dowdalls crime not a mitigating factor in him being bullied out? Or was he bullied out before this came to light?

    No dowdall was bullied out before any of that came to light. He won a seat as a Councillor in the inner city but they wanted him out and cancers first cousin Janice in and her main goal she said was to fight drug addiction lol. She also wants to help Smith field boxing club but doesn't want to help corinthians lol.

    ^^^^^^
    Anyone remember when the sniffer dog was kidnapped from his handlers home in Wexford in the beginning of the 90's and turned up in an abandoned farm yard after about 6 weeks alive. It turned out his nose had been peppered and he had no sense of smell, can't remember how long it took custom's to kop on.Slightly off topic but intresting.He was the only one in the country,and had a very high detection rate,he even won an award in Europe and was brought to Brussels to collect it, before being peppered.

    Say no more, as useful as a cup of tea






    How accurate is the lie detector test?
    "If the examiner is well-trained, if the test is properly carried out, and if there's proper quality controls, the accuracy is estimated between 80%-90%," he says, adding that this is higher than the average person's ability to tell if someone is lying.

    Why has Coolock feud gone so quiet, simply down to unstable RL no longer being around or heavy policing or gangs tolerating each other without the need to shoot each other? Always wondered about the families of those involved , do they bury there head in the sand and pretend they don't know what's going on ? Would you not be mortified when your son is front page of the Sunday paper linked to god knows what. How did RL go so far wrong , he would have been brought up in a respectable enough area no?

    The “Coolock feud” is a media myth.

    It’s not a media myth, it was a small feud that fizzled out fast but it was over people getting to big for there boots. I thought it would have escalated after eoin Boylan got done, I’m surprised nothing came after that

    A lot of lads gone to ground, definitely don't see as many of them out and about lately.

    Todays seizure might change that, definitely seems somebody has a rat.

    I’m just moaning about the way the media have sensationalized it after the Kinahan-Hutch thing fizzled out. The papers tend to label a range of stuff as the “Coolock feud” such as the Parker murder, the Little murder and its fall-out, the Davis murder, the Norton-Roo/Fogarty tit-for-tat stuff, and even the Lawlor vs Darndale kids and Mr Big stuff. Of these the Little murder and aftermath might be fairly described as a feud, and I guess that’s what you have in mind. But from what I’ve read on here these are all mostly separate incidents and disputes.

    For example here’s an article on the Michael Brennan shooting in Kilmore in May which uses the “Coolock feud” label - https://www.google.ie/amp/s/www.thesun.ie/news/5451655/dublin-shooting-thug-michael-brennan-coolock-horror/amp/

    Is there any reason to think that shooting was linked to all the other stuff? In fairness the article basically admits that the “feud” is all too complicated to understand properly.

    Take the information and don't think to much on when it is posted.

    Anyone here would know what is informative no matter what time it's posted.

    UDA shoot up house with shotguns and hit a grandmother in the head, she survived bt is in a bad way. Her son, the intended target got wounded. Accused of selling dodgy drugs that killed a girl who probably had loyalist relatives https://www.irishnews.com/news/northernirelandnews/2020/10/07/news/uda-gun-attack-leaves-coleraine-woman-fighting-for-her-life-2090809/

    Speaking of all this Drogheda drama rember when Steenson set up his former INLA bosses for a meeting in Rosnaree, one of the gun men held a door open for a woman, shot the top boys, and tried to take over the INLA, before forming the IPLO. Steenson was an operator from a very young age, killed Billy McMillen the Offical IRA leader at just 16 years of age. Old news report https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCJVXv-WaLw really good info in comments

    It didn't end too well for the IPLO though.

    Ever since the red tops came to Ireland the standard of journalism dropped. These headline seeking paper's have no morals and don't care if what they print is true or "not so true" or about the effect (Fatal or not) on their subject's lives and when it all goes wrong they hide behind the feeble excuse "i have a duty to report this the public need's to know". Sometimes these people go just to damm far. Investigative journalism is slightly different as it can be fact checked so is likely to be more far fetched than a bare faced lie.

    There was a UDA Commander and his 2nd in line got a bit of kicking and stood down. Is this linked?
