I'm sure there are many good people in Ladyswell, just as there will be complete scrotes in some "better" areas. So it's not really fair to tar everyone with the same brush, especially for something as bad as this.

Ah come on. He was stabbed in front of a load of kids at a bonfire at 7.30pm in the evening. I don't know the lad personally but you don't stab someone in front of kids no matter how bad the area is.

I was talking about the fire brigade attack. Where were the good people in the area trying to stop the attacks? They might need the emergency services themselves some day.

They were an ambulance down for nearly 2 hours last night, while they were receiving up to 80 calls an hour at some points. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. What's an ambulance doing to stop them behaving like savages anyway? The fire engines were only putting out fires that were a danger, the ambulances weren't even doing that.

January · 01-11-2015 1:30pm

Sorry, where were the reports that people from Ladyswell attacked the fire services last night?

MrMaki · 01-11-2015 3:18pm

"In Clonsilla the fire crews experienced “anti-social behaviour” twice last night but no fire fighters were injured, the fire brigade said. "

I just hope that all these scumbags throwing stones and bottles into fire brigades and ambulances will find themselves in the situation one day where emergency services rushing to help them will get stuck somewhere because of some other idiots.

But unfortunately that would be too much luck....

Pinch Flat · 01-11-2015 3:25pm

I popped into the carpenter off-licence late night about 9, there must have been a couple of hundred teenagers hanging around at the entrance to the secondary school / pub and in the car park - apparently lighting and throwing fire works into a crowd is the in thing to do theses days. Guys in the offy said the guards on the way, but no sign of them when I was leaving. I'd say they had their hands full last night.

People who abuse the emergency services have to be especially socially underdeveloped though - people with this mentality generally lump the fire and ambulance service in with the guards - no distinction for them. They'd be the first ones to complain when their own house or car goes up in smoke or they're stuck at the side of the road injured. Karma would be a nice thing.

I don't, I live in Wellview but I found it very insulting too since my kids go to school in Ladyswell.

Yes, there's a few bad eggs, but there's no need to tar everyone with the same brush.

Nobody in Ladyswell attacked the emergency services last night, where you got that notion from I've no idea. Clonsilla is not Ladyswell.

Terrible,so they broke through the hall door. Any idea was it pvc. Wooden etc.

It was a fairly decent PVC door.

PucaMama · 05-11-2015 2:36pm

Was woken this morning to the sound of smashing glass. Had old windows kinda behind our oil tank a bit and behind some plastic boxes. These were broken. They've been there almost 2 years never any slipping or anything I think someone came in over that wall and out over the other by getting over the bins. They might have been after the oil or have robbed someone else in the area. Our Dogs started barking in an "alarm" way. Briarwood Area.

PucaMama · 06-11-2015 12:38am

Noticed earlier that the broken glass had blood on it none of our dogs got into it so it must be the person who was at it!

Would the guards bother to check the blood to see if it was a repeat house burglar at work?

Probably not unless something else had happened that night considered more serious than a house burglary.

Larbre34 · 06-11-2015 12:24pm

Probably wouldnt need a blood test to tell them who's operating in the area.

If it was a burglar, I do hope they get tetanus.

are you serious · 06-11-2015 7:48pm

If you report that someone was out your back garden and they had smashed the glass which you have subsequently noticed blood on that was not there before they will 100% take the glass

2 squad cars blocking the entrances outside Applegreen in Clonsilla this morning. Entrances taped off too.

This is even not funny any more.

Operation Thor should be targeted at judges cooperating with these culprits and letting them go free to commit more crimes.
Maybe if few judges got locked others would start using their brains.

From the garda perspective this must be very depressing. They risk their lifes on the streets everytime they catch some scumbag, and then some so called judge decide that the poor thing with xxx previous convictions doesn't deserve to be isolated.....

Judge McHugh said gardai had not made out a case for refusing bail.

Perhaps they know from experience though that they are only wasting their time.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 13-11-2015 5:06pm

It's not related to the Blanchardstown issues but there were two cases in court recently, very serious crimes, and both culprits had a ridiculous amount of prior convictions. One guy had 90, I'm sure, and yet was out walking around free as a bird.

There is certainly something seriously wrong with the legal system, which particular part it is is probably up for debate but it's not at all surprising that this guy is out.

Terrible. I was one of their victims. I'm still not over it.

horse7 · 14-11-2015 1:28pm

You do know our justice minister lives in D15,why not email her with concerns and opinions on crime in the area. Surely having our own D15 minister of justice , should mean the area would be relatively crime free? www.francesfitzgerald.ie even a Facebook page

Amazing the amount of burglaries carried out by members of a certain community considering they comprise less than 1% of the population. And all from state sponsored accommodation.

horse7 · 09-12-2015 9:44pm

20:30 seems a very bad night to be out doing a door to door selling calanders, in the Stockton area?

3 guys in a white 10D van around clonsilla village today, caught one guy in a yellow body warmer taking a picture of our house. Called the guards. Stay vigilant guys

peaceboi · 13-12-2015 4:13pm

2008 BMW m sports stolen from Tyrrelstown housing estate last Tue night. The car was parked in front of their house. House was not broken into. Guess the keys were cloned or hacked by the notorious organized car criminals.

Why would someone want a photo of your house??? Like what nefarious use would they have?

dar_cool · 13-12-2015 5:10pm

They use to mark houses with paint or something I presume it's a new way of identifying a target they want.

Complete urban legend, as for the photo of the house, they'll gain nothing which they can't readily obtain by using Google Street view

Cars in the drive? Maybe.

BabysCoffee · 13-12-2015 7:11pm

Surely they would take down house numbers of potential burglary targets rather than taking pictures (and risk being noticed)? Most strange.

angryIreGamer · 14-12-2015 11:08am

no matter the potential reason, someone taking a picture of your house without you knowing why and who they are is concerning.

beauf · 14-12-2015 11:29am

They probably don't care if they are noticed.

rolion · 14-12-2015 11:35am

I had a car stopped in the front of my home, the driver pulled down the window and took photos of my house, then went away.
Checked my CCTV (as per my neighbour advice),called Garda in D15 and I've been told they may have false number plates, as they do not match the cars registered to and is pointless to think investigating my case.
Pointless to report it again then too...

AlanG · 14-12-2015 11:38am

Have you got a nice porch or driveway - I was recently getting a new porch built and took pictures of others around that I liked to discuss with the wife and eventually show the builder how we wanted ours to look.

I thought it was an urban legend too until it happened to a family member when the were robbed.

Arciphel · 14-12-2015 12:38pm

Two quick things...

Bogus Barnados collections happening in Dublin 15 at the moment, woman in her thirties and a young girl in her early teens collectibg cash for a Barnados run which isn't happening. Legit charities like this won't collect cash at the door, so always ask for ID and if you are concerned tell the person collecting you are going to ring the Garda station to verify them, if they have nothing to hide then they won't baulk at this.

Dunnes Stores in Ongar held up at gunpoint on Friday last at 8.40pm. Aside from the fact that (in my opinion) its not a great place to do your shopping, something to bear in mind when you are out and about.

No, standard porch, I don't think these guys were innocent, they looked like foreign nationals with hoods up and generally got a bad vibe off them, I drove around the area after to see could I spot the van but couldn't see it. I wonder where they out looking for empty houses on a busy shopping day, thankfully I will be in the house all week. And marking house with paint is definitely not an urban myth. I've seen it a few times with friends/ family.

Don't know about paint but they do use chalk. My friends house was robbed recently and there was seven x's on the outside wall, five together and two underneath. The garda said it meant five adults two cars. When it happened the house was only empty for half hour and they only took cash and gold.

It's always someone's friend, or aunt, or the cousin of the bloke around the corner, no one seems to have any actual first hand experience of this now do they? Incredibly, I've been called a troll already for saying this, but ask yourself, why in God's name would a burglar do this? It does not benefit them in anyway to announce what house they intend to burgle? It is a myth.

It was in dublin 12. It was my good friends house and it is 100% true (why the hell would anyone feel the need to make it up! ) I saw the wall myself after it happened, she took pics of it, if she still has them I will post.
We were baffled aswell. How does it benefit them? When was it marked? Why do they mark them? It doesn't really make sense but it's 100% true. The garda also said they only really take money and gold now as it's not as easy to trace. There was a lot of devices left out in her house that they didn't take.
