    Gardai haven't been doing too badly of late, making lots of arrests etc.
    Ball is in the well court's court now.

    Was good to see they have someone in court now for the murdrr of that poor innocent young fella, looked like nobody was going to get charged for quite a while.

    Since anyone with a functioning brain and an ability to use a Google search can now easily figure out why Fat Freddie was where he was at the time he was spotted, here are a couple of stories related to the Hutch gang:

    Personally I wouldn't believe a letter of a word that Nicola Tallant writes ...
    (She misspelt Kinahans as Kinehans on one of her twitter articles last week, and the mistake is still there). Last week she was writing about a huge riff between the Byrnes and the Kinahans, and now it's been reported elsewhere that the two attended the boxing in the O2 together last Saturday night...

    Lads you're skirting the line here, no more speculation about protected cases. Even if you're going about it in a roundabout way. I've deleted a few more posts.

    Understood. I'll say no more about it.

    Ha i give up!

    The press knew where he would be, that tells me nothing!

    Well I'm lost - you could have put it in black and white and it probably still would have gone over my head.

    I blame Paul Williams for Ms Tallant generating stories that can be tied to other stories by saying it was sunny on the same day both stories happened so it must be true!

    I wonder how this "Fat Freddie" character became so famous ? He's not even that interesting.

    The Herald use to have him on the front page almost every day.

    He would've come to public attention during the crumlin- drimnagh feud.

    I know but he's just a common criminal he doesn't deserve all the air time he gets.

    At least back in day we had interesting criminals like Martin Cahill.

    Martin Cahill was a vicious thug, who ruined many lives.
    And he wouldn't have thought twice about doing you serious harm if you got in his way.

    Just look at Dr Donovan, past director of forensic science lab.

    Criminals are put on a pedestal in this country.

    Look how many of them we put in the Dail !

    We need to "Re- Incarnate " Tom Clark , Eamonn Ceannt, and James Connolly for a Week . The undertakers would be busy and there would be a lot of by-elections for the Dail.:eek:

    he mighnt deserve the glorification
    as for cahill he was nowhere near as powerful in terms of gang/weapon or money as those dealers today. I'm guessing thompson being near the top of that chain has a lot more money than cahill ever dreamt of.

    he was leader of a gang than was involved in a feud that resulted in years of violence and 15 death..sadly that is newsworthy.

    yawn fcuking yawn.

    you just picked on my pet hates
    TDs.

    ...TDs are under the same laws as the rests of us.
    If they broke the law they are charged like the rest of us.
    If you know of a criminal in the dail - go to the police with your evidence.
    otherwise stfu

    1916
    people banging on about the 1916 leaders most of them died before they could have any power. you have no idea how they would have turned out. I'd bet most of them would never have gotten within an asses roar of power the electorate would have never voted in communists like james connolly ...there just wasn't that appetite in ireland.

    we had one 1916 leader deValera survive and rule ireland...and let's just say he isn't too popular on boards.
    you can't say the other would have been any better.
    the best thing for their legacy is they died .

    Pablo Escobar was heavily involved in charity!
    Built schools and medical facilities and even handed out money to the poor!

    Still he was a vicious criminal if crossed.

    I know but many people saw him as sort of Robin Hood type character.

    Did Robin Hood claim the dole, have 2 houses, 2 families and laugh at every hard working member of society?

    Or are you trying to say Cahill stole money and paintings to give the proceeds to poor families in society?

    Thought not.

    I remember in the film about his life he was giving out free stuff to poor families.

    Not sure if that actually happened in real life ?

    And they obviously never got on his wrong side.
