If Patrick Hutch planned on leaving the country via Dublin Airport, hope he did so yesterday

Although he might go up North first? He could already be in Dubai...

I'd say he's up North, whether he stays there or not is another thing. Mago seems safe enough up there.

I think the weapons uses were a variant of the ak47, still heavy duty firepower. It certainly could have been a bloodbath but they couldn't find the targets they were looking for.

From the pictures, looks very like a PA Md.65. Romanian copy most likely.

PingTing comes for Fire

AK 47 and other Assault Rifles can be used in single shot mode or can fire semi automatic or fully automatic(sometimes needs a conversion)

It can also not be fired at all if you screwed up your planning and recon.

My knowledge is only from TV shows, Movies & Video games but don't AK-47's have extremely destructive firepower? how was it not a slaughterhouse in there?

because that would require actually hitting what you aim at. Something these gangsters seem incredibly bad at.

Do Gardai lose their state pension if they’re found guilty of a crime?

Are you asking about Det Fox ? if so why ?

If not then no i wouldn't think so. as long as they contribute the required amount over the required period of time

Gardai buy a fairly good pension but its topped up by the state.

as for the state pension well every one gets it regardless of criminal history hutch or Kinahan

Well if you want to have a look at Tossy Fox's fb for example you'll see he learned to shoot in Courtlough not a fullbore pistol or rifle range and it's quite hard to learn firearm proficiency when you have no access to a range or have never been in the military.

Shooting from a couple of feet away seems to be the limit of their abilities.

Anyone else find it odd that the intended target wasn’t there when they stormed the hotel. The main event/weigh in was talking place when they attacked but he had left earlier.......

I had the idea that the two guys stormed in and started spraying the place indiscriminately with AK fire.

As in could target of got wind that something was coming, is it definite that he did in fact leave beforehand or did he escape during the panic?

Byrne was unlucky he ran straight into them.

I can only assume they hoped Daniel Kinahan would also have ran towards the main entrance. If he had of he would be dead now too.

I heard he didn't actually "leave" beforehand, he just left the function room the event was happening in and thus was able to escape when the shooting started. Could have been that he went to the jacks, to take a phone call or have a smoke - either way he wasn't in the room. If this was the case, he could have escaped through a different part of the hotel or just into the hotel proper.

Always assumed it was more just incredibly bad luck and bad timing for the hit squad as opposed to a full-on escape for Kinahan. The way the story has been told in various newspaper articles, a few minutes earlier and he'd have been in the room.

No. Why would they ? They've paid for it, probably over 25 /30 years or more.

Nothing to do with the ASU, it's just tactical clothing, it was the press that linked it to the Gardai, 'ERU style' load of bollocks.

You'd buy similar in any airsoft shop or online and slap an embroidered GARDA patch on it

Independent are reporting that it was Patsy that picked him up on the motorbike at court.

The Independent may well be reporting it but that means f**k all in terms of accuracy.
How do they know who was driving the bike? Truth is they don't know but go on with this sort of reporting all the time and get away with it and are never held to account.

I thought Patsy was in complete lockdown tbh, last week I actually misremembered him as one of the deceased. He went into hiding last year after a bunch of "Patsy dies = feud ends" slogans were spray painted in various locations around his neighbourhood. Perhaps Patrick is going to hide in the same location that Patsy is hiding in?

I have to wonder what kind of terms The Monk's family are on with him at the moment - it's not a stretch to speculate that he could regarded as responsible, through the botched Regency hit, for all the bloodshed which has been visited on his family since (even if it started with Gary Hutch's murder). Wonder if they hold that against him, I can imagine it could be a very bitter situation all around.

Can someone explain to me how Nigerians and other non-EU nationals are living here? I'm all for taking in qualified nurses from the Philippines, but how are unskilled migrants coming in?

Ireland is easy, that's why,

Ireland has a feckless attitude.

Nigerians keep coming.

It doesn't matter that there are no direct flights from Nigeria to Ireland, THANKFULLY, they just keep coming.

Why wouldn't you leave a fooked up country in the 3rd World and fetch up in a 1st World country.

Why should it matter if the country you want to go to will have to pay for your new life.

cos given the extreme lockdown by the gardai in the area , a fella on a bike with helmet would have been vetted and permitted to be sitting at the side door of the court.
the gardai knew who it was and told the indo - the same indo who's boy Paul Williams is essentially the gardai PR man.
a cosy cartel so to speak...

thats' how.

Not sure where the idea that cops pay for their pension through contributions comes from; they come nowhere near it, but whatever.
The taxpayer pays for it - they make a token contribution

Sorry but you're talking complete bull.

If you actually read the CSO statistics the numbers of Nigerians that 'keep coming' here is actually dropping steadily for this decade. It's Romanians, Brazilians and Spanish that 'keep coming' here.

Nigerians don't even make it into the Top 10 nationalities resident here numbers-wise anymore!

In fairness I think Dante is asking a fair question. How do people from outside the EU come and live here? I have often wondered the same.

And I don't need a smart arse answer, I'm looking for a serious one.

pensions are protected under the constitution under property rights (and rightly so) . You'd need a referendum to change this.

on a tangent
I find it bizarre people champion the state/courts to have the power to strip somebody's pension...not realising it could be used to strip you of yours.
insanity

Sometime soon, it will be just too late.
It won't matter for the likes of Zappone, who will be back in the States, and Leo and Coveney will be living and working in Brussels.
