Bumbleance theft at ploughing championships queried

Last year Bumbleance reported a theft at the Ploughing Championships.

Now allegations are being raised that the CCTV footage shows that there was no such theft.

I've always supported Bumbleance and it's a worthwhile need so I hope there is no truth in this new allegation.

Story Bud?

That article is from last year. Pretty sure someone resigned and everything over it.

Never heard anything about it after that.


Story Bud? Is correct, the article is from September last year.

Is that the playstation and something else stolen from the ambulance?

Some former board member handed some "proof" of lies about the robbery to Garda....seems someone thought it might be a good sob story for more fund raising.
Fecking charity is one scam after another. Supposed to be 22,000 charities of various kinds registered in Ireland... nuts

The charity seems like a scam to me, they raise money so it can be given to company run, at the time, by a director of the charity to operate an ambulance.

Very strange. It's a pity the good work of causes like this is tarnished by a few dodgy employees.

I'll ask:

How does an ambulance become a bumbleance...?

Definitely seems to be worth it.

Ataxia Ireland is one that always smells of dodgy, supposed to sell lotto tickets only, but the guys keep the cards in their hand, well out if sight and hope for people to throw a few coins their way. Unaccountable money, if lotto tickets not been given out, into the back pocket.

When some bumbling w********n thinks its a good idea to claim stuff was stolen from it but oh noes cctv ?

Charity founder Liam Heffernan had claimed that the ambulance, known as the “Bumbleance”, was targeted and up to €800 worth of equipment was taken


David Hall, who resigned from his role as director of the Saoirse Foundation last May, had written to the Garda Fraud Squad alleging to have CCTV footage from inside the ambulance which showed a theft did not occur.
