I have an agreement with the residents that i wouldn't post on a public forum were this is due to some people selling the house and they fear it will lower the price. I was giving a rough idea what side of Dublin 15 this took place. I would like to give the exact specifics.

So you have an agreement with the residents not to name where it happened, but are happy to throw out the names of other places where it may or may not have happened and associate those places with the incident, rightly or wrongly ?!?

Is it in Mulhuddart?

Also, Archiphel, I'm not a mod of this forum, therefore I'm a normal poster here just like you. It might be an unhelpful post but it's the truth.

Please just report posts you feel breach the charter, don't get into a discussion of it on thread.

I must say I just dont believe the content of Dre's posts. Theyre starting to become farcical.

I have friends in both Tyrrellstown and Ongar, and while there are some petty crime issues, this 8 mile stuff is not credible.

You do indeed come across as a Garda hater, and im wondering if you have cried wolf a little too often at this stage. I have needed the services of the Guards twice for car related crime in the last 3 years and on both occasions they were prompt and courteous, and im not far from Ongar myself.

I don't know anything about the stories above. But can't say I've been un-impressed with the Garda response times in the general area for years. Always get the "not enough resources".

However they seem to have stepped up their presence. I'm seeing at lot more cars on patrol. Which is good.

I'm pretty sure this is Saddlers estate in Mulhuddart.

Anyway - this is information that Dre put online when he was moving to new place.

I can't believe that on such a small estate so many bad things are happening. Looking at his posts - Every single house there must have been broken in at least twice.

Dre knows so many stories that I start to believe it is his fantasy and dreams.
Look at the history of this thread - every second bad behavior in D 15 is reported by him.

We are actually holding off on the papers story, there are papers who want to do stories about what is going on in Dublin 15 as well as a documentary crew. We are trying to talk with the police, but the initial conversation with them was about how much more we can do. Not about how little they are doing !! We want to work with the garda but we are just not getting anywhere.

Holding the papers and a documentary crew at bay probably while negotiating the movie rights.....

The situation is becoming farcical and to tell the truth if i were on the outside looking in, i would see it as an exaggeration or pure lies. But unfortunately this is happening, it seems to be happening all over Dublin at the moment. One of my neighbors moved in 6 months ago. She has been broken into twice. Second time was on Saturday. That was our first breakin since July. After we started up a neighborhood text alert using a program called Telegram.

I will give you an example of another area next to dublin 15 that has started to have problems .... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cabra-Neighbourhood-Watch/734236253258055

This is next to Dublin 15 and there is a huge rise in break-ins with very similar circumstances. Based on the number of reports. I know this as i have family there too.

I have been speaking with members of the security forum some of which have actually come out and met with residents to give Advice. (Thankyou Altor and Stoner for that)

"not enough resources" line was used, 2 of the Gardai in fairness were nice and told us that they constantly have to apologize to people, simply because they just to call out to call out to call out. They have actually pushed for us to complain also as they a likened it to plumbers doing call outs to houses and not fixing any leaks.

From being out in the estate and seeing this at first hand I would say most of the houses have being done twice if not more. These thugs just don't care, they knock on your door, if you don't answer they kick it in. If you are there they just abuse you. Not something most people would be able to stand up to. The Guards wont man an estate 24 hours. They do rely on residents to police the estate.

Some good news tonight. Blanchardstown Garda getting 17 new cars and some new Garda from temple more.

Linky? That would seem a massive increase if true. In the past they often only had 2 or 3 cars on at night.

From the above linked article...

They will not just be responding to calls and patrolling Dublin 15 however, as the Blanch station is responsible for the entire K-District which also encompasses Ballyfermot, Cabra and Finglas.

Well that explains the response times from Blanch Garda Station.

The ballyfermot link is a mistake according to David McGuinness on fb as I questioned it.

We do take over from cabra when it's closed though.

17 new cars are no use when there are about 12 cops to drive them on a Friday night.

The first new recruits in Templemore are only 10 weeks in, itll be a long time before they are of use to any station..

My neighbour was broken into last Saturday, Annfield area. They moved out about a month ago so there was nothing to take but they trashed the place.

They used an MPV, pulled it into the carport, the other neighbour saw them and assumed they were the new occupants. This happened about 6pm.

Two unmarked guards arrived last night, quite quickly to take details. IMO they arrived quickly because of the area. I know my folks cars were broken into numerous times in Clonsilla and it took them hours to arrive.

It's obvious from these repeated break ins that the people responsible are not just chancing their arm, but are watching carefully and choosing specifically. Be vigilant.

BostonB

MPV I'll have to watch out for that. I've noticed a lot more strangers and strange cars including MPV's wandering around in general. Not doing anything specific which makes them stand out like a sore thumb. I wonder are they picking busy times so they don't stand out in the hubbub.

Told me she was from the west of the country and was up her with her 3 year old daughter visiting her husband in James Connolly hospital. She said her daughter was around the back of the garage in the car and that they did not have any money to pay for petrol could I possibly give her 20 quid. She told me to give her my phone number and she would pay me back in an hour.

I had the same thing and same story happen to me at Roselawn SC about 2 months ago. From Castlebar, visiting hospital, no money for petrol to get home, 3 year old in the car.

These areas are miles apart. If you are not going to say the area then don't associate it with other areas which don't have anything like that level of problem.

Well that was one instance of anti social behavior that was not experienced before. The point of the post was the reaction from the Gardai of Dublin 15. Where it happened is of no consequence.

If it's in a Neighbourhood Watch thread surely the location is the only thing of consequence?
