    Just noticed the last week in Finglas graffiti for the RIRA on the wall's. Normally would not pay it any attention but it was stenciled on the wall's which is odd as the local scum would not give a fuk about it being neat. Asked a friend and he said two guy's were stopped but not arrested apparently in relation to it.
    Just wondering if anyone noticed the same in their area. Its black and roughly 2x2feet?

    Can't say I've noticed it where I am... which parts of Finglas have you seen it in?

    Seen it near Cappagh hospital just before you turn right to the temporary traffic lights used to be, on the walls to the right where the new houses are been built.

    I have seen it somewhere else, but I can't put my finger on it.

    I wonder if they were "invited" in like in Cavan (Or Navan... Somewhere outside the Pale anyway) to give the local hooligans a hiding?

    Thats not all that uncommon in town, i always wondered if it was actually linked to republicans or if it was just some eijits writing on the walls.

    Its just kids. See RIRA/CIRA/INLA all over various parts of Dublin.

    Recently when I was in Derry, I spotted stickers with 'INLA: JOY RIDERS WILL BE DEALT WITH' on them and 'INLA: THIS IS A WORKING CLASS AREA, BURGLERS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED' and that kind of 'We is the community cops' Republican stuff.

    In Dublin its eejit kids.

    Saw that yesterday myself, maybe they're opening a Finglas branch of that once popular city centre niteclub from the 90s ?

    Bit silly for them giving out warnings when their ''leader'' is one of the biggest dealers on the South side.

    That's the reason why they want dealers out. Not because they're a nice friendly residents organisation, it's because they want the drug trade to themselves.
