Gangland Shootings part 4 - Read OP before posting - updated 30/12/23

I think the people in the middle are worth saving.

You've kids with good parents who won't get involved in this nonsense regardless and you've kids with **** parents who will regardless of what facilities or social programs you throw at them.

But there's kids in the middle who can go either way. They can be influenced and that's worth investing in.

Like I said before, you've huge areas of Dublin currently being gentrified a little like Ballyfermot, Crumlin, Drimnagh, Cabra, Rialto, Inchicore, Tallaght, Coolock, Finglas, Blanch.

If you talk to older people from these areas, they'll say that things have improved enormously in 20 years. Obviously still not perfect but moving in the right direction.

Recently it was reported that "Deis Schools" had a record number of kids going on to 3rd level. "Deis schools" are schools in deprived areas.

The benefits of gentrification is that areas become much more mixed. Not to sound like a snob or classist but you've better influences and peers in the neighbourhood and schools. Not that you already don't have that, but you have more.

Lots of young professionals are priced out of traditionally middle class areas so will buy in these areas as they've no choice. Loads are particularly buying in Crumlin, Drimnagh and Cabra which no offence to people from these areas were pretty rough not too long ago.

To accelerate this process, I'd be putting in Luas lines and Dart lines and stations.

For example a Dart station on the Kylemore Rd in Ballyfermot would do wonders for a 1km radius.

The Naas Rd area is about to see huge development in next few years.

It will be interesting to see what effect the Finglas Luas will have as that part of SW Finglas is one of the most deprived areas in Ireland.

If lots of the houses are in private ownership, then it could gentrify quite a bit.

Likewise Ballymun once the Metro starts construction. I can guarantee 1000s of apartments will go up and you'll see them filled with young professionals and tech workers. This then brings more investment like shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs etc which Ballymun has almost literally none of. If you told someone in Ballymun 25 years ago this, they wouldn't believe you.

Despite the bad headlines, these areas are already improving.

The thing is none of the good things make headlines.

Shooters name confirmed...

Sad that we have the shooters named confirmed first in a British rag before domestic sources. A bit bonkers on the behalf of the shooter to enter a full restaurant thinking he could carry out his hit and escape. He is unlikely to have known where his target/s were sitting before entering. Can't help but think this will spark of a tit for tat of incidents especially with the shooter deceased. I wonder is their any connection with the recent drug seizures?

He should have known not to bring a machine gun to a knife fight.

The fell that got shot ....is he or the sons the driving force in the operation?

Mr Flashy And The Corduff Feud (youtube.com)

Martin cunninghams uncle demo robbed Dean Fitz of crack, Martin and Dean fella out. Jayo backed his runner Dean, and Martin was backed by wardy.

Hennessys burned Dylan mooney house to the ground. Then paddy ashe fired on Dean and Devon outside the school. Then they fired on Devon at sunbed shop in mulhuddart. Few back and forth houses hit. Martin cunningly butchered Ken outside finglas garda station

Stephen fowler tried to have wardy clipped and handed Dean and his da Ken 2 glocks to kill wardy he got set up and boys ended up caught.

And it spiralled from there. Boylan gets on with both sides.

hennessy was getting work then off gooners and fell intona bill then little gibbo from crumlin but fell out with him too. Then big black George got work from the family they pulled a rip and now we are here no idea where its all coming from but that's what's happened.

So nobody’s actually been killed until last night?

Lol.

Thanks for synopsis.

You should write for a paper.

You know more than Nicola Tallant.

What’s the latest on Marcus Sweeney - seems to be doing v strange Tiktoks

He's givin handies at the halfpenny bridge for 10 bob a man

How do you know?!

That's dean and Ken Fitzsimmons. Dean was jayos only man with a bit of balls.

I was wondering the same but at the same time I'd say the list of people looking to get that fat ginger prick is longer than Santa's list on Christmas Eve🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂😂😂
