    I've been in Ongar village a few times, but never later than 7/8pm. Has it gotten worse or is that just anecdotal?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,022 ✭✭✭Polar101


    It's a bit restless on weekends, especially around the village square/playground/woods area.

    Ongar for me is just going the same way as all these built up areas the kids of a few years ago are now teens and hanging around with all the usual problems that go with that .When I do go for a walk around the green areas almost every time I see some sort of drug deal going down .Its a great pity when we are told how so well educated we are that so many get involved with drugs and the dangers to them and their famlies that brings .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,292 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    Education is irrelevant. A police presence putting constant heat on a location is all that makes a difference.

    Any idea what was happening in Chapelizod today, road closed with garda presence from the junction with the Phoenix Park/Strawberry Beds? That was at 14:30 so had to d-tour through the park and then on way back at around 17:30 road was still closed with barrier and garda car still stationed.

    Lots of sirens and police chopper just a few minutes ago near Ongar, wonder what it was

    Monday of this week, 5 youths smashed in the front windows and attempted to kick in the door of a house in Clonsilla at approx 9pm (so still daylight), as well as breaking a window of a car parked in the driveway.

    The increasing lawlessness is by no means limited to the city centre, it would seem.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,860 ✭✭✭Brock Turnpike


    Any ideas where in Clonsilla this was (I don't mean specific address)?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,814 ✭✭✭cython


    I'll narrow it down to say it was in one of the Limelawn/Aspen/Sorrel estates if that's any help? I'd prefer not to be any more specific than that.

    Any info as to whether this was a random attack or deliberate targeting for some reason?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,814 ✭✭✭cython


    Not really in the business of speculation, I posted simply to report the facts of the incident of which I'm aware.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,292 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    I didn't ask for speculation, I asked was there information. If there is not, I didn't expect someone to go making it up.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,814 ✭✭✭cython


    Short of asking those directly involved, anything that could be offered would be speculation. And even if there was something more concrete indicating targeting, posting it here would have the potential to be defamatory to those involved, something in which I also have no interest, so I'll limit myself to the facts as already stated.

    A man in his 40's has reportedly been shot and wounded in the neck, in an attack on him at an obviously busy Browne's Steakhouse on Main Street, Blanchardstown.

    Happy Christmas D15ers.

    Edit: Update at 22.40

    Gardaí have confirmed one fatality of a man in his 20s, while a man in his 40s receives treatment for serious gunshot wounds at Connolly Hospital.

    Garda hospitalised after being struck by car in Castleknock attack. No mention of development. Hope the Garda is ok

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,866 ✭✭✭donaghs


    Sounds mental for Castleknock? Knocking over a guard and ramming other cars? No update since on this incident? Or the closure of beechpark avenue the next day?

    Looking at the news they seem to be separate incidents. 1am and 9am

    I thought all the councils removed that facility, I used to use it all the time



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,265 ✭✭✭rameire


    I used to use that website all the time, this is just a survey form that goes to email.

    Folks

    My bike was stolen from Coolmime train station today. Unlikely I know, but if anyone happens to hear/see anyone on the bike or looking to sell the bike, please DM me.

    Any other advice on possibly recovering it also welcomed!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭daymobrew


    Sorry to hear this.

    Tweet or message https://x.com/stolenbikesdub - that account has >4000 followers.

    Question: Was it locked with the cable lock in the photo? That's a lock that could be easily ripped open.

    Terribly sad for their families, glad to see someone has been arrested. That pedestrian crossing is so dangerous, cars break the lights there so often. Obviously I don't know for sure if that is what happened last night.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,017 ✭✭✭thomasj


    Agreed completely. I've crossed there a few times and even with the pedestrian light green I would still be watching cars coming to make sure they slow down .

    Time will tell what happened . I was thinking someone leaving the scene would be an indication of guilt but time will tell . Hopefully they find some dashcam footage .

    It is a dangerous road and wouldn't surprise me to see speedbumps in along that stretch at some stage.

    I've been stopped at the red light there and had cars behind go into the bus lane to go around me and go through the red light.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,017 ✭✭✭thomasj


    I hope a stop is put to this, now that 2 innocent lives have been lost. It's being going on for too long. Anyone breaking lights should be banned from driving , screw penalty points. We've seen the consequences of these actions.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭daymobrew


    Nothing will happen. There is a well known anecdote that if you want to kill someone and get away with it, use a car.

    The lack of enforcement for decades has made drivers complacent, knowing that the chances of being punished are next to zero.

    I frequently report driving infractions to TrafficWatch but Blanchardstown Gardai take months to follow up, if at all. This is not fair on the drivers as they won't remember the incident (though I generally only report when I have video footage).

    The man badly hurt in an assault outside the Clonsilla Inn last Sunday has ,very sadly, died.

    The Guards have made an arrest but are seeking any witnesses and for a "medical professional" who rendered assistance at the scene to contact them in Blanch.

    Another senseless late night altercation resulting in death in this City, may he rest in peace.
