    Scary stuff.

    really makes you think if the public do enough to support people like the collins family. the scum have too much freedom. the dundons and the other families should be the ones scared to leave their houses.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,717 ✭✭✭YFlyer


    Yes including, supporting them, by not buying any illegal drugs.

    I watched this and I have massive respect for Steve Collins and his family. I don't know if I could manage my way thru' what they have so far.

    Agreed - nobody buys the drugs, the scumbags have nothing to live on.

    I travel to Limerick regularly and as a fellow Dublin man and as an Irishman, I want to commend Steve Collins and his family for the stand that they have taken.

    The Untermenschen who murdered their son Roy need to be confronted to a final solution.

    I commend the Collins family and I will make it a point to go to the Steering Wheel and to have a pint in his pub.
    His business needs tangible support and as a people we need to spend money there to show the untermenschen/scum that our will prevails.

    Fair play to the Collins Family.Too many innocent people have lost their lives to those scum.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,932 ✭✭✭hinault


    You can give tangible support to the Collins family by going to the businesses and spending money.

    It provides tangible support to the Collins family and it sends a message to the scum that no matter what they try to do, they will not prevail.

    Just saw primetime. Steve Collins and the Collins family are amazing the way that they have soldiered on through this. They have given up their lives to do the right thing, how many of us could say that if we were in the same situation that we would not have given into fear & intimidation.

    All this because a an underage girl couldn't get served in a pub. The gardai should be rounding up these scumbags and forego any civil rights, they don't deserve them.

    Cheers, I intend to.


    Perhaps if more Limerick-based posters such as yourself did likewise, it might help send a badly needed message to your city's untermenschen?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,591 ✭✭✭✭Aidric


    It was a sad piece and brought home the severity of the situation the Collins family find themselves in.
    Giving them round the clock protection is one thing but they have no quality of life.

    Well fair play to you , but then I am guessing you don't know the place .

    Link for anyone who wants to watch it. Just starting it now myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 350 ✭✭amybabes


    Had tears in my eyes. That poor family. Vaguely met a couple of them through my work in a bar in Castletroy a few years ago and they were nice, decent ordinary people. It's a cruel world that with all they've had to endure they still have to live like that
    Madness :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,252 ✭✭✭Funkstard


    Could never understand the character Steve Collins possesses when talking to the media. The strength he shows, after what he and his family have been through, is really unbelievable. Seeing him break down was more hard-hitting with that in mind. Really really awful and shocking to watch.

    The tide seems to have turned a bit in recent times though, with reports that some of the Dundons have fled back to the UK as they couldn't handle the new approach of the gardaí. Lets hope it's the beginning of something good for Limerick. Christ knows the city and people need it.

    Its Sad To See This But At The End Of The Day They Arent The Only Family Who Have Lost Someone In This Vicious Feud Whether You Class Them As Innocent Or Not At The End Of The Day A Mother Still Has To Bury Her Son :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43 WoodView


    Steve Collins a decent and very brave man.The Gardai should make it a point of fully briefing the English police about the presence of some of the dum dum scum scums that have entered their jurisdiction so that the heat and pressure is kept on . The Steering Wheel is a very well run pub with a friendly custom it has no more fights or problems than any other Irish pub and from what ive seen probably significantly less than most

    No offense man, just asking out of curiosity, do you post from a mobile device? I have seen a few people post in your style with capitals at the start of every word. One of them mentioned it was his phone that does it automatically.

    I have never been in there, but I would assume with its constant Garda presence that it would be one of the safest pubs in Limerick.

    The sad thing about it is Dundon probably organised for him and a few of his low life friends to have a night in with a few cans watching the programme and having a good laugh at the misery they caused.
