St. Annes Park Gardai

lightening

Anyone know whats going on? Part of it is cordoned off by the Gardai, screens up, searches going on. I am presuming another body.

(Watermill Road and coastal part)

I am as curious as you are. Looked on the Indo and Times site and could not find anything. The Gardai were still there this afternoon. It was mentioned on 2fm news but no details there either.

lightening

I found a body there before, it was never mentioned on the news.

It could be that missing Romanian girl! Certainly enough Gardai to make the find seem important.

I remember they found a body around there last year, turned out to be a homeless guy.

Varkov

It was a guy dressed as a clown apparently. He was on his way to work and was shot. Gardai are treating it as possibly drug related.

KTRIC

There's been many a body found there. Nothing new to be honest.

I understand completely. It must have been pretty distressing for you & sad for the ladys family.

Wasn't really to be honest. I assured the family it was a pretty peaceful and serene scene I came apon and it actually was the truth. The coroners court wasn't nice, family were very upset. However its a very very well run place, the coroner himself and the staff are excellent.

Being involved in watersports all my life, its not the first time I have come across one. I am sure you are the same giving your work nature.

Seriously ??

Varkov

Thats what I heard anyway, could be BS. But its a reliable source.

Dressed as a clown?
Either a peado or a pierrot!

I just passed there now ... there's a tape cordon and two guards on the coast road side still at the scene ... maybe more inside the park itself.

I think there have been bodies found in that particular corner of the park on a few occasions in the past 5 - 10 years.

Any news links on this one ?

lightening

Just passed on my nightly run. Asked the Garda on duty what the story was, after not answering my query of how she was she looked me up and down and said "I can't tell you" in the snootiest voice she could muster.

And I thought good policing was talking to the community.

It is. That's why we have Gardai.

Seriously, I live around the corner, I could have witnessed something.

a clown shot?

I wasn't having a go. I agree with you. I've always found the Gardai a 'mare to deal with.
On a by the by though I was having a scoop earlier in Harry Byrne's and one of the chaps reckoned it'd something to do with drugs. Now he may not have a scooby doo what he's talking about but it's the word on the street (well in Harry's at least).

Oh I know!!! Sorry, I wasn't clear. Normally I find them grand to deal with, just some of them could brush up on their manners. Imagine I treated someone like that in work!

Yeah, I see that Tannylan, just thought it might be her.

I agree 100%.

If I was ignorant to a civilian during the course of my work I'd fully expect to get hauled across the coals for it.

In fact most of us (I hope) would go out of our way to project the Defence Forces in a favourable light.

Speaking for myself, I love dealing with the public and I'm lucky in so far as I'm in that position.

They're looking for a body after a tip-off. They found nothing today and it will onctinue tomorrow. It's not the Romanian girl, but someone who disappeared some time ago.

I was a foreman on a jury there recently and I have to agree that the Coroner and his staff made the ordeal into something facinating rather then morbid.

Are you talking about the body they are looking for now? Why would you be dressed as a clown on your way to work? did he worked for Fossetts or Dublin City Co Co? I live near and people are saying it could be someone missing since eight years ago, I don't want to say to be honest.

I dunno why they're bothering to look.
There's no way they'd still be alive after being buried for eight years.

Any updates on this?

Hi all,The Gardai finished up in st Annes park yesterday evening. All the tape is down. Does anyone know if they found anything?

trout

I drove by this morning. The tape has been removed from the car park railings on the coast but there is still a Garda presence inside the park itself.

There are tarpaulins up in the Watermill corner of the park and I think there are people working behind the tarps.

I have no idea if anything has been found - or if forensic work is still ongoing.

Only the tears of a clown

From what I can gather they are working their way further in to the park.

They will need to have a fair idea of were the body is as the park is huge.

lightening

Well, it looks like they managed to knock down part of the original wall that borders the park on the coast road. They must have been digging fairly close to it.

jimmay

I read in the Irish Independent today the search was being called off. Police had a tipp off of a body there more than 5 years ago.
