.....no doubt they'll make a ham-fisted effort of the investigation.

If it goes to trial and the victim gives evidence, the Court register would need to be on the ball during the swearing in:

"Please raise your .......er.......em...."

The defendant will probably swear that he had no hand, act or part in it or if convicted he'll be hoping a handy sentence will be handed down.

Funny thing is if you meet anyone in that new area of Meakstown, they claim they are not in Finglas. A quick look at any property site would show this!

Evidence of this on boards also, i had to end up proving PaulW wrong about his Meakstown not being Finglas part
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055166070&highlight=finglas

Of course when anything bad happens, it is indeed in Finglas just like the Finglas end of Glasnevin cemetery which doesn't exist..LOL

****SPECIAL OFFER****

Dinner is half price in the deputy mayor today.
It's only finger food but the service is excellent now that they have an extra hand in the kitchen.

on behalf of the peace loving people of Finglas I would extend my sympathies to the people of "Meakstown".

And the victim is from Ballymun.

Think we should add Meakstown, GLASNEVIN to the list of no-go areas based on the headline

Yep, agreed. Just because a mother kills her daughter in Kilkenny doesn't make it a hole... The dehanding could have happened anywhere.

No I live across the road, thought that'd be obvious from my earlier post about pub being quiet usually and it's really nice inside. Haven't heard much more than rumours to be honest.

The guards soon aWRISTed somebody in connection with it.As a rule of thumb they can usually finger the suspect and once they knuckle down he'll put his hands up,pretty handy really.
