    If only there was a central system where you could simply type in a name of a company or person in to it and it would give you a list of all cars that a suspected gang owned they could be tracked all over the city...oh wait there already is.

    Where?

    Where?

    Car ownership database.

    Car ownership database.

    That shows gang affiliations? Gangs rarely register cars to themselves. One of the biggest dealers in Ireland owns a car sales business.

    The family ? Ballyfermot/clondalkin gang.

    Why bother when they've phones and there's cctv everywhere and a woman who really knows what she's doing
    1960: "I have a great idea! lets have every person in the country carry a radio tracking beacon!"

    "That'll never fly!"

    2012: "I can has TWO iphones??"
    At his trial on Thursday senior crime and policing analyst Sarah Skedd spoke to prosecuting counsel Alex Owens SC.

    She told him that she compiled charts of calls and texts relating to 13 phones gardai suspected to have been used by the alleged gang that killed Mr O'Byrne.

    She said the general location of the phones could be established by the masts that they connected to when making calls or sending and receiving texts.

    By combining that information with CCTV footage of cars believed to have been used in the shooting, she said she was able to track the movements of the alleged gang.

    One of the phones, said by the prosecution to belong to suspect Eugene Cullen, was linked to 20 texts and calls before 8.30am on the day of the killing.

    In one two-minute period that evening, about 90 minutes before Mr O'Byrne was shot, the phone received 24 texts.

    Another phone, referred to by Mr Owens as the Primera Phone because it was discovered in a Primera seized by gardai hours after the killing, was traced to various locations in Coolock within one hour of the shooting.

    UTV Ireland have a Gangland "Special" on tonight at 9...

    Open Warfare: Ireland's Gangland Feud - An Insight Special
    Documentary examining the roots of gangland crime in Ireland, in light of the recent killing of David Byrne in Dublin and the murder of taxi driver Eddie Hutch at his home in the North Inner City. The Insight team also travels to Spain to discover the origins of the latest feud, including interviews with serving and former Garda detectives as well as some of Ireland's leading crime journalists, and the brother of Veronica Guerin, whose murder in 1996 led to a widespread outcry about gangland crime and the establishment of the Criminal Asset Bureau.

    Watched it last night It was very well done, unlike the Paul Williams one but nothing really new.

    Finally a bit of movement this morning as the guards are raiding homes and a business in Dublin city.

    This one is against the kinahan gang, there was already a move against the hutch side last week.

    Ya so they gave the Kinihan boys plenty of time to destroy any evidence and what ever else!

    why are these raids not happening monthly?

    why does it take the state being shamed before it takes any action?

    They're raiding places all the time. It's the media who have a reawakened interest and are now reporting on every minor detail.

    They are raiding all sorts of dealers homes all over the country all the time yes.
    But hitting the kinihan gang with CAB is certainly not happening all the time.

    I they were raiding that gang constantly they would be out of business in Ireland


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,492 ✭✭✭stoplooklisten

    ...and the gardai would be up in court for harassment and invasion of human rights, big payout...and still free to carry on with immunity

    but this protection the gardai are giving them is a racket


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,152 ✭✭✭flanzer


    They'll take the cars, put them into Garda service, the crims will replace the cars. No one will be prosecuted. It's the circle of life


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,411 ✭✭✭emo72


    Forget it. Don't want to know.

    Yes, because investigations like that take time. I wonder do the accountant and solicitor know the activities that their client are involved in? Any charges pending for these white collar scumbags? They are as much a part of the criminal class as those who handsomely reward them for their efforts.

    I see Paul Williams is not as friendly with the Gards as he was once was- he is openly criticial of them now("the lions led by donkeys").

    One of them had a 38 grand on a 7/4 bet in the United Liverpool game tomorrow night!!
    Unreal !!!

    Does anyone know what pub it is that they own and drank in and had meetings in? It was also raided today.

    Gardai seem to be doing their job for a change.

    'Gardai dealt a severe financial blow to the Irish-based associates of the global drug trafficking cartel, led by Dubliner Christy Kinahan.'

    I had to LOL at this one, I doubt the Garda are even touching the surface of how much money Christy and his organisation have and lets be honest at this stage, its an organisation not a gang he is running.

    ^^^^
    Almost 30 top of the range cars, six motorcycles, jewellery and expensive Rolex watches – with a total property value estimated to be well in excess of €1m

    Even the gangsters go for paddy spec cars when they go car shopping?

    Paul Williams getting ahead of himself there.

    'It is understood gardai are satisfied the weapons seized were used in the attack on the Regency hotel, however they are yet to be forensically examined.'

    I'm sure there are more than two AK-47s in the country, I will wait for the results of the forensic examination.

    Thinking at 7/4 it must have been United - a fool and his (laundered) money....
