they get more reaction by mentioning limrick then. what i dont understand is the people they think stole the guns were passengers in the wtf is up with that

tom traubert

So, going by the report, the firearms were licensed by the owner of the car and two men were believed to have been in the car at the time it crashed.

The article is nicely ambigious. Was the registered owner in the car at the time of the crash; maybe, maybe not. If not, was the car stolen? Far more questions than answers arise when article is read closely.

At least it wasn't in Limerick - that would have been far worse.

It was on the border of limerick so close it might as wll be limerick and there are so many theifs out that way stealing from cars in the day time never mind night time, and why two guns happened to be left alone in the car is unthinkable. You can't leave your car parked anywhere out around there they will smash your window and have a look inside your car. Only two months ago it happened a friend of mine that goes running along the river bank out there where this happend. Limerick has a bad rap and for good reson and if you dont agree your either lucky or living in a bubble and can see/hear whats happening in the city and out skirts.

AHEM...Cough! Tac...This is CLARE where this happened.It is bad enough that we have Moyross and a old Limerick city dump right on our doorstep of the boundary,and Gormless handing us over to Limerick as well,without haveing to be associated with Limerick!!So i'll thak you to notice the difference.;):D
BTW.word of the wise.Tell your pal to park in future around Parteen village,not on the longpavement.He'll know what I mean.lot safer.

Took the words ou of my mouth griz!
Parking on the long pavement is a bad area of Limerick and the people around there will know the owner of the car is gone on a 5 mile round run!

Tack not gonna make friends with such generalizations. Kinda insulting post for any1 in area. The lads r spot on in fairness. & no I don't live in a bubble I have a lot if friends who live in the area so I feel I can comment.

Ah but the devil is in the detail. I'm just pointing out that the guns were actually stolen in Limerick according to the article bullets posted and a man from Limerick was questioned.

But of course it would be unfair to say this was a Limerick based crime

Correct but the papers got it wrong only because the GS said corbally which is a generally used term for the area and people associate the locality including westbury with it.

ya okay, don't mean to inslut anyone but talk to the people in Clonlara, Paeteen and even out in Shannon and they will say since the regeneration of Limerick there towns have been ruined by the unwanted families of Limerick. Limerick people are as nice as the rest of us, I hope to be Married to one lovely Limerick girl soon, its just the rotton apples in Limerick have fallen far from the tree and are upsetting and affecting many people since the regeneration.

I find this 'Its not Limerick, its Clare' reaction amusing..

You wouldnt if you lived around here!:rolleyes: Simply put being on "the frontier" of the Clare /Limerick border.People living on the Clare side have got a raw deal since time immemorial.

We have had a open plan festering Limerick City dump on the Longpavement for over 35 years.Fortuneatly now closed,but would have been left open if Limerick city corpo could have gotton away with it.Its leaching into the watercourse and back into the Shannon where it goes back into Limerick citys main water supply inlet!Of course Corbally and the Mill road had a fine view of the rubbish pile across the Shannon as well.Not to mind smells,flies and vermin.As well as destroying about 300 acres of the best water meadow,swampland and wildfowl shooting in the area.:rolleyes:

A tempoary of 15 year duration traveller halting site,that looks better kept than most neighbourhoods.Nice to see my tax money is supporting the horse,scrap,tarmac and carpet trade so well.:mad:

The delightful Moyross neighbourhood is right on the border as well.
Of course it was supposed to be regenerated......:rolleyes::rolleyes:..For executive suites and littel million euro villas that are within walking distance of THOMOND rugby stadium!!!!Or that was the master plan IF the money had held out!Where the rest of the misfortunates [,by and large 90% of the folk who have to live there are some of the finest people in Limerick.But suffer from 10% of scobes and scumbags destroying the place and its name.] were to move to...who the fuk cares???Sure they are all out of the area.
No doubt they can house in health board housing bought by Limerick in places as far away from Limerick as possible...Like Killaloe/Ballina down on the Marina!:eek:.Pay a few million quid for a lovely house on the lake and find the Mc Scobes were moved in the night before under the cover of darkness,and have a thriving drug busisness going by morning..Lovely!!

Limericks most disgusting export, John Gormley.[My apologies to the rest of Ireland] Hails from the Corbally reigion,and has done us in Clare no favours by recommenting Westbury,and Parteen becomes part of Limerick county,so that the incompetant Limerick council can screw up and over the whole area.Not that the shower in Ennis are much better..They dont want to know about this area,but will make the appropriate noises to make it sound like it will be "no surrender":rolleyes: As well as losing some very decent GAA players to Limerick,this might make people somwhat touchy as to be already included in Limerick.Hence the reaction.;)

Vegeta

I think he meant the opposite Grizz, people from Limerick saying this was a Clare based crime and implying it was unfair to place it on the reputation of Limerick


At the end of the day, everyone should make their firearms as difficult to steal as possible. Broken down, multiple safes which are hidden, well spec'd locked doors and windows and never ever leave them in a car (not saying the ones in this article were just saying is all)

This was happening long before any regeneration program, but was kept under wraps, there are as many Heads in Clare from Clare as they are in Limerick and people are too full of themselves to see or admit to this. Its a good excuse to blame the regeneration for all the problems in Clare (or most) not saying it is not adding to the problem, but open your eyes there are a lot of gurriers in Clare then what ye will admit to.

You should visit the CSO website. Since 2004 Limerick has had approximately 7 times the number of theft related crimes as compared to Clare. (1628 recorded offences versus 241)

Define Theft Related crimes,

Well what we would call stealing is broken into Robbery, Burglary and Theft. I owe you an apology too, the figures above should actually be 833 versus 125 and they are for Robbery only.

I forgot about Burglary which is 8813 in Limerick versus 2709 for Clare

Theft has it's own section, 28644 in Limerick versus 7710 for Clare

If you want a breakdown of each go to cso.ie and check them out.

more anti social incidents in Clare

Ha ha ha, pull the other one you chancer

Clare:8644 for Public order and other social code offences
Limerick: 17069 for Public order and other social code offences

Your hands must be tired from clutching at straws.

Well I have worked in the security industry doing doors etc for over 20yrs and I can tell you now that the majority of incidents relating to vandalism, fighting in around the city at night were by persons from outside Limerick City ie Clare/Co Limerick.
Because they think they can/could get away with it,also the majority of addresses given by gurriers/criminals are in Limerick as they are staying in appartments, flats etc and don't want their Mammy's & Daddy's knowing about it because in the country "their Johnny was never brought up like that i" my Ar-e

Well in the last 2 years my parents have suffered 6 cars being broken into (one of them written off) we caught the people involved on 3 occasions and I'll give you one guess where they were from.
My brother was assaulted in the local shop, beat on the head with a rock and again the group of lads were from Limerick.
We could trade stories all day but the figures speak for themselves.

So even adjusted to a per capita basis Limerick is a noticably higher crime area. If the figures said the opposite I'd have no problem accepting it.

That is one of the main reasons people do not want to go there. A guidance counsellor in a big Dublin school once told me that the vast majority of students have no interest in attending UL or even looking at its prospectus (despit it running some very good degree courses). Even when it is put on the CAO it is always one of the bottom choices. It's a pity.

Very true..Except they are mostly Limericks exported problem!Thats what the HS in Limerick has been doing.Renting houses in Clare ,Tip and even Galway and exporting the scumbags to points as far away as possible.Not denying that we have gurriers in Clare,mostly in the Ennis/Shannon[Little Belfast] reigion.But the big trouble makers are fammlies that have been moved and dumped on somone elses doorstep.So of course it will be considerd a Clare scumbag,as they live there now.
Dont belive for one instant that the regeneration was for the benefit of the scumbag areas!It was a plan to develop expensive real estate to flog off to the gulliable who wanted to boast that they had an apartment over looking Thomand for the rugger.

As for crime rate.Well,funnily enough it has DROPPED in the last two years in Limerick,while Dublin is becoming ,especially this year like East LA!But of course that minor fact is played down by the Dub media.Limerick has always been a whipping boy for crime stories ever since that idiot journalist in the scumday world coined the stab city phrase!Prize example is this entire article!!WTF is a national paper reporting on this,which is really local news??Would this make even the paper if this happened in Dub 4????Not bloddy likely!!But it is close enough to Limerick,guns involved..Good enough!!!:mad:

The two guys were known to these girls. The car only seats 5 so unless the owner of the gun was a lass then the owner left his guns unattended in a car. This guy doesn't need to bother reapplying in 3 years to his super.

The guns were in the house, they allegedly broke into the house, got the car keys searched the house found the guns and made off with them in the stolen merc.
