This isn't exactly news, but what I found surprising was what those lads were found with:

Kelly, from Cedarwood Park, Cox's Demesne, Dundalk, and his passenger were arrested and when the car boot was searched gardai found a large quantity of stolen garda uniforms, including tunics, caps and fluorescent jackets. These has been stolen from the homes of members of the gardai in Waterford and Lucan.

Makes for worrying reading!

Members shouldnt be leaving full uniforms around in the first place but then again, they need to be washed and not everyone has secure lockers.

CLADA...you can say that again....

They haven't gone away you know.

The current recession has however opened up a far wider range of....hmmm..."opportunities" for business people willing to diversify....supplying heavy fuel oils necessary for boiling pig feeding springs to mind

Indeed at the present rate of cross-border incursions into the 6 counties we may yet see the Irish Army being deployed to aid the Civil Power in preventing the Free States citizens from making millionaires out of the Protestant/Presbeterian merchant classes of Ulster.

Can anybody imagine how the current Irish Republic`s Government is going to prevent the economic desertification of great swathes all the way down to Finglas as our educated,mobile and wealthy young population excercise their fundamental EU rights to travel and shop where its cheapest ?

I`ll bet they never considered this scenario on Good Friday !!!

Of course not.

Guns, drug dealing, money laundering, racketeering, prostitution, robbery....this is a way of life for these scum. Why would this change just because a few politicians signed a few bits of paper? Now they've simply been afforded a freer hand to quietly engage in such activities.

Alarming that (a) they're targeting members at home and (b) members are being forced to bring home full uniform. What a security disaster.

OOps...apologies...I`m working with so many South Africans now that the term slips off the tongue so easily........how about Mnà Na hÈireann instead as they make the best shoppers I suspect

Two charged over explosives find

A man appeared in court in Dublin today charged in connection with the seizure of Semtex explosives in Co Meath on Wednesday.

18-year-old Emmet Reilly, with an address at Drumbee, Kilnaleck, Co Cavan, was brought before the Dublin District Court charged with possession of 2.5kg of the explosive.

The court heard that he was charged at Kells garda station yesterday, under section 4 of the Explosive Substance Act 1883. He made no reply when charged.

Gardaí made no objection to bail, which he was granted on the payment of a €5,000 bond. He must sign on three times a week at Cavan garda station, and must undertake not to reapply for a passport while gardaí hold his current one.

He is due to appear again at Cloverhill District Court next Tuesday.

In a connected case, a second man also appeared before the Dublin District Court this morning charged with possession of ammunition.

32-year-old John Fallon, from Carrickaboy, also in Co Cavan, was charged with possession of 500 rounds of ammunition at his home.

The court heard Mr Fallon was arrested on Wednesday night, taken to Navan garda station and later charged under Section 27 of the Firearms Act 1964. The court was told he made no reply when charged.

There was no objection to bail and Judge John Coughlan granted it on the basis that an independent surety of €5,000 be lodged on his behalf, that he surrender his passport, undertake not to apply for a replacement and sign on three times a week at Cavan garda station.

Judge Coughlan also granted free legal aid to the accused, who is an unemployed plumber. He is to appear again before Cloverhill District Court on Tuesday.

A third man also arrested during the same operation has been released without charge and a file will be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Now you've gone and done it:rolleyes:

This was part of a larger present received from the good colonel from Libya in 1985.
Seeing as we are all one big happy island these finds make little or no headlines, in fact it's like that character in Harry Potter "the one you cannot speak of".
It's all about not upsetting cetain people.

Judging from the coverage on Telefìs Èireann the other night,these boys were not at all keen on modelling for the camera....?
Wonder why....I thought there was no such thing as BAAD publicity ?
