Whats going down?

Itsdacraic

I'm in Limerick today there seems to awful lot of Garda action around the city. Saw a lot of squad cars on the dock road, there's been sirens going off all morning and the army helicopter hovering over head.

Anything going down?

Casperbhoy

No, just a standard day in Limerick:pac:

It's probably the 10 or so gangland killings in Dublin so far this year.
The Gardai said they were going to crack down on them yesterday, so naturaly they're gonna send the task force to Limerick.:rolleyes:

Is the army helicopter the large red one?
I saw the large red one hovering around town but i thought it looked like a hospital type heli.

I was passed by a Prison Van being flanked by two unmarked cars going full tilt in the direction of Dublin around 30 minutes ago.

Coincidence?

Christy keane was released from prison yesterday or day before. I've heard from sources that the guards are expecting war.

last night i was comin out of my house and a ambulance, 2 of those garda armed cars and another ambulance went flying out towards the regional.. thought somethign serious had happened but there was nothing in the news today.

Aidric

I went down on a young broad earlier. No cops were involved.

Builderfromhell

I reckon they are escalating their campaign against people driving without Tax

I saw on of the armed units on Wednesday passing the fire station in a major hurry. However, they could have been on a normal unarmed call, they are the same as any squad car until they get a call for armed assistance.

Definitely something going on yesterday. I was at the BOI on O'Connell St at about 10 last night, a regular squad car, one of the ARU's and an unmarked Volvo all flew past lights flashing and sirens blaring.

Not to mention the 2 ambulances that were doing at least 100mph down O'Connell street around the same time. Was it a training exercise I wonder?

Wetbench4

RonMexico

Something definitely going down tonight. Was driving from Corbally across the city. Met a squad car which pulled over a car outside Garveys, Met the Armed response unit parked on Nicholas St (i think) right beside Marys Cathedral. and there were 3 or 4 gardai up near the Mount (O'Connell Ave) out with flashlights stopping cars. Checked mine for tax/insurance.

Was down at training in Rosbrien (OC) and halfway through we just saw a load of flames, seems some scumbags had ditched their car and set fire to it!
