    " 32csm says it will put stop to Cavan attacks


    An organisation with links to dissident republicanism has said it will intervene to put a stop to the unprovoked violent attacks in Cavan town by individuals purporting to be part of a gang call the TCRG (believed to stand for The Cavan Rebellion Group).

    A statement issued by the Cavan/Fermanagh 32 County Sovereignty Movement (32csm) has said that the movement will "not stand idly by" and will be "making our presence known" in the town in the coming weeks. This has led to calls from senior gardaí against any type of vigilante interference into the problem that exists and warned that anyone taking the law into their own hands could also face charges.

    Last week, the Anglo-Celt revealed the upsurge in stabbings, attacks with iron bars and the smashing of cars in Cavan town as anti-social behaviour and violent attacks in the town are on the rise. The story went on to make national headlines on both radio and in newspapers.

    Slogans about TCRG activities and names of people alleged to belong to the self-styled group have since appeared on a freshly painted wall in Belturbet.

    There have been some copycat activities by young individuals whom senior garda sources say have been checking out the group's Bebo page. A number of anonymous comments have also been posted on the TCRG Bebo sitein the past week including threats to blow "off f..kin nee caps".

    The Anglo-Celt has also learned from sources in the community that dozens of young people involved in the attacks are frequently high on cocktails of drink and drugs. One individual who has moved to the area recently is alleged to be purchasing tranquilisers and dispensing them out to young people in Cavan town.

    Sources also say that a confrontation between two groups of young people recently ended when one gang with iron bars had to flee after knives were pulled by the other gang.

    In the interim, the chairman of Cavan Town Council Andrew Boylan, together with his Fine Gael party colleagues had a meeting with Garda Superintendent John O'Driscoll last Friday to discuss the fallout from the recent violence and ascertain what action the gardaí are taking to put an immediate halt to this behaviour, which was instilling fear in the community.

    Cllr. Boylan this week told The Anglo-Celt that the gardaí had broken up the TCRG gang and they are confident that an end to the spate of violence is in sight.

    Since last week the Fermanagh/Cavan 32 County Sovereignty Movement have made contact with The Anglo-Celt newsroom and issued a statement in relation to the violent, random attacks o n the streets (full statement, see page 2). The organisation claims to have been contacted by a number of concerned residents in the Cavan town area who, they claim, are too afraid to talk to the gardaí.

    Commenting on the 32csm statement, Superintendent John O'Driscoll said: "The laws are there for everybody - there is nobody above the law, regardless of what group they are - people just can't take the law into their own hands - if that happens you become a mirror image of what you are trying to stop."

    The Superintendant added that the town council had applied for a scheme to install more CCTV cameras in the town and he understood that initiative will be coming on stream shortly. "Cameras certainly help in curtailing crime but ultimately there is no substitute for garda patrolling and assistance from the public. I would call on the public to notify the gardaí about such activity, so that the gardaí can nip these matters in the bud before they have time to develop," he said.

    At their meeting with Superintendent O'Driscoll, Cllrs. Andrew Boylan and Paddy O'Reilly expressed their concerns about the recent spate of attacks and sought assurances that action was being taken against those responsible.

    "We are quite happy that the matters are in hand and that a number of the culprits are presently remanded in custody and another number are remanded on bail..."

    Fine Gael Cllr. Andrew Boylan has said that cases linked to recent violent attacks in Cavan town are before the courts. "The superintendent would hope that they will be dealt with effectively," he said following a special meeting of Cavan Town Council members with Superintendant John O'Driscoll.

    In relation to the gang members, Cllr. Boylan said there was a hard core of about five or six and a fringe group of not more than 20 other people. "The gardaí have all their names and they will be dealt with in a combination of ways; their parents will be called in where the young people involved are underage. The parents will be asked to take responsibility for their sons' actions," he explained.

    Cllr. Boylan said the message he received from the superintendent was that the gardai are on top of the incidents and people could again feel safe to come into Cavan town to socialise and do business.

    • This is the full text of the statement issued by the Cavan/Fermanagh branch of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement in relation to the violent attacks in Cavan town by individuals claiming to be part of a gang called TCRG:

    "It has been brought to the attention of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement of the serious rise in anti-social activity in the Cavan town region. Over the last number of weeks our organisation have been contacted by concerned members of the Cavan public and residents who live in Cavan town too frightened to go to the Gardaí about the criminal and anti-social activity of a group of young people that calls themselves the TCRG.

    "Recently a number of worried and comcerned residents contacted our organisation to see if we could help stop the activities of this criminal gang, who have brought fear and terror to the streets of Cavan town. People are fearful of travelling out after dark in fear of being attacked by these thugs and social misfits of society.

    "The 32 County Sovereignty Movement have in our possesion information on all of those who are involved with this criminal gang who call themselves the TCRG. We will not stand idly by while there is unprovoked and violent attacks on innocent members of the Cavan public by a drugged up drunken hooligan anti-social element.

    "Over the next few weeks members of the Cavan public will see the 32 County Sovereignty Movement (32csm) as we will be making our presence known in the Cavan town area in support of the Cavan public that contacted us. The 32 County Sovereignty Movement will be monitoring and engaging with members of the public in Cavan town. We call on all young people involved with this TCRG gang to disband and desist from further attacks on the innocent people of Cavan before you kill someone, and let the innocent people of Cavan live in peace!"

    Feckin' eejits they are. They need to cop on before they seriously injure or kill someone. They need a beating to get a taste of their own medicine so they'll realise what they're doing and will hopefully stop.

    "32 County Sovereignty Movement Smash Crime Gang"


    Members of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement in Cavan/Fermanagh have successfully dismantled a crime gang that had set up base in Cavan town and had been using young people in the Cavan town region to carry out a wide range of crime which included assaulting people, street drinking, breaking into peoples houses to more serious offenses such as drug dealing and stealing firearms from private properties.

    This crime gang had five leading individuals that were influencing the young vulnerable people of Cavan to commit these crimes for there own personal gain,through the selling of drugs to extortion of money from businesses.

    There were three of these individuals from Limerick one from Dublin and another from the Cavan area who had come into the Cavan town area after a falling out with other major Criminal gangs in Limerick and Dublin.

    It was these individuals that prompted and influenced young vulnerable people in Cavan to start a gang and call themselves the TCRG which stands for "the cavan rebellion gang".

    After months of violent crime on the streets of Cavan and the attacks of innocent people the 32 County Sovereignty Movement were contacted by concerned residents from Cavan town to scared to contact the Gardai, and who were terrified to walk the streets of Cavan because of this anti social element calling themselves the TCRG.

    Over the last number of weeks the 32 County Sovereignty Movement visited the homes and talked to the parents of some of these individuals who were identified to us as having been members of this criminal gang TCRG.

    The 32csm sat down and talked to the parents of these individuals to explain that there children were seen in the presense of known criminals from Limerick and Dublin that had recently moved to the town and that these criminals were brainwashing there children to commit crimes against innocent members of the Cavan community and that this was wrong,and that the 32csm were there to help the parents and to engage with the youth of the area not to be getting envolved with these criminals.

    Within the last number of days a number of parents of those involved with the TCRG have come forward with there sons and daughters stating that they are no longer involved with this TCRG gang and that they will be advising others to leave the gang too.

    We in the 32 County Sovereignty Movement welcome this recent development and we call for the remaining TCRG members to disband. The 32csm are happy to confirm that the five criminal figures that had moved to Cavan town from Limerick, Dublin and Cavan have now fled there homes in the Cavan area.

    The 32 County Sovereignty movement will continue to monitor events on the ground and have our presense in the area should the need arise again.
    And commenting on what the chief Superintendant of the Gardai in Cavan John O Driscoll said recently about us being some sort of vigilante group, our organisation is a political organisation not a vigilante organisation which the Gardai would like to perceive us to be, we are a well established Republican Political Organisation throughout Ireland and we are dealing with problems like the one there was in Cavan on a daily basis.

    The 32 County Sovereignty Movement are not in the business of having a war of words with the Gardai on this matter, if the Gardai had have been doing there jobs and putting a stop to these criminals then there would have been no need for the 32 County Sovereignty Movement to have gotten involved in the breaking up of this criminal gang.

    In conclusion we want to state that the 32csm will be there to support anyone or community that is under seige or that feel threatened by criminals or anti social elements in there society throughout Ireland.

    Statement Ends!
    PRO: Cavan/Fermanagh 32 County Sovereignty Movement!

    Dissident republicans chase gang members out of Cavan



    Suzanne Breen, Northern Editor







    TCRG graffiti in Cavan



    Dissident republicans say that six members of a leading Cavan
    gang involved in drug-dealing, vicious assaults and thefts have
    fled the country "in fear of their lives".







    A prominent member of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement claimed
    republicans had broken up the gang "who were making life a
    nightmare" for local people.







    He claimed that, while no violence was used, around 25
    republicans wearing black shirts emblazoned with
    'Fermanagh/Cavan 32 County Sovereignty Movement' had patrolled
    the streets.







    They distributed leaflets warning that they "would not stand
    idly by while this community is attacked by anti-social elements
    led by sinister, criminal figures".







    The spokesman said the gang had been attempting to arm itself by
    stealing shot-guns.







    "It was a dangerous situation rapidly spiralling out of
    control," he said.







    The gang known as TCRG -N The Cavan Rebellion Group -N was led
    by three Limerick criminals put out of that city eight months
    ago by the Dundon-McCarthy gang. These Limerick men, along with
    a Dublin criminal and two Cavan men, have now left the country,
    the spokesman said.







    "There was no military action involved and no threats made. It
    was a community initiative. When they saw us on the streets,
    they knew they were no longer welcome. They have left Ireland.
    They got on planes in fear of their lives."







    The spokesman said "anti-social activity" still existed in Cavan
    and the sovereignty movement intended to "step up patrols" in
    the town. "We'll be making our presence felt. We'll be on the
    streets to ensure that hoods aren't let run riot. We're also
    planning patrols in other Irish towns, on both sides of the
    border. If there is trouble, we'll sort it out."







    TCRG boasted of its violence on social networking site Bebo,
    which included the names and photographs of alleged gang
    members. The gang, of around 30 members in their teens and early
    20s, was led by men in their 30s.







    The spokesman claimed local people approached Sinn Féin to stop
    the gang's activities. "Sinn Féin told them to go to the guards
    and the guards did virtually nothing. We became involved because
    people, at their wits' end, came to us for help."

    that was the first I heard of it, I doubt thats true either, probably just something the gang said so they wont get all the balme for their actions!!!

    I'd say, Limerick connection comes from a family (mother from Cavan, father from Limerick) who lived in Cavan over 30 years ago, moved back to Limerick and returned to Cavan about 10 years or so ago.

    Lots of work in Limerick for the 32 County Sovereignty Movement.The Gardai are having difficulty monitoring the cctv equipment in Southill. 100,000 euro damage last Sunday. I guess the local boyos beat Ch4 to scrapping BB

    havent seen any of the happens goin on and would be around cavan alot, heard about a lad getting attacked but don't even think it was from this gang.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 810 ✭✭✭muincav


    I think that the "32 County Sovereignty Movement" should go in to Cootehill and have a word with some of the so call "Chavs" there! There is one group in particular who need to be dealt with in the same way as the Cavan group.Everyone in Cootehill knows who they are but everytime the Garda bring them to court the Judge usually lets them off with a slapped wrist, so now we need a different approach.
    Hopefully someone form the "32 County Sovereignty Movement" will read this...:mad:

    Totally correct---you know your stuff celt...but maybe its the same in most towns?
    We had a simolar problem in the 80s, but lets say some local lads sorted that out, but the younger people in Cootehill today seem to be scared,,, maybe they are right but then again maybe not.These bullies only pick on the weaker people in society, such as the elderly and youngsters on their own.
