    Presumeably you've passed on your in-depth knowledge of this organised crime gang hierarchy to Gardaí yea?

    They know. Everyone knows. It's common knowledge who's who in the area. I've a good few friends in drogs and two in laytown who are guards, they don't need to be told anything.

    Be interesting to hear the media slant.

    Some videos going around of Crosby ringing Owen Maguire taunting him, asking him to go.for a walk, and if he wants him to bring him some nappies. Headcases.

    You'd think those videos would be incriminating enough to throw them away.

    I remember going on holidays to mosney hung around with a few drog guy's.
    Hard bastards they were myself and a few Cork and limerick lads felt well out of our league.

    Nice lads though as long as you stay out of agro and didnt chat up their women lol

    Went back up there to Drogheda clubbing a few months later, talk about scraps outside nightclub s well fck me it wasn't a patch on friar tucks in Limerick or Burgerland in Cork

    Although Wings chipper in Shannon town was nearly as bad...

    Drogheda is a normal quiet town, has one estate in particular thats always been rough (but not a slap), and the others like finians and rathmullen had a reputation but again nothing to worry about other than a few really bad families which you get everywhere. Fights are few and far between especially on the town at night, maybe I'm oblivious because I'm past the young bucks with new horns stage, but think it was more common 25/30 years ago with inter-parish fighting, generally started on the football pitch.

    Dominos chipper, then Abrakebabra was pretty dodgy for a few years but its closed now. No ring, no fight. WTF is it with chippers :D

    This new 'feud' is literally between one traveller family and their runners, and one guy (backed by a well known cartel) and his runners. Cornelius Price being released this week (traveller side) so it could all escalate very quickly. Hopefully they'll wipe each other out or get caught for something soon.

    Not really much incriminating stuff in it, just the two of them very calmly calling each other names and throwing insults ("the smell of campfire off ya").

    About 10-12 caravans have moved into the field beside Highlands at the top of the Rathmullen Rd over the last couple of days. I wonder is that the welcoming committee?

    I don’t think they are fussy about which branches of criminality they get involved in to be honest.

    I've no idea. Think he has a house near Gormanstown, according to recent reports. Bit coincidental though.

    Hard to believe a town with so few travellers could be destroyed by them .
    Then again south Louth ie Drogheda is a big Fine Gael area and Fine Gael headquarters in Dublin love travellers

    Its the lack of decent sentences in court, something which noone seems to want to tackle.

    Yes both are in court tonight charged with arson. Crosby only out a wet day after crying his way through his attempted murder trial. An absolute scumbag while in cloverhill.

    VW Polo burned out.

    VW Polo or Golf (hard to tell the difference) used in the attempted shooting of BK at Mcdonnells shop.

    Wonder if it was the same one.

    Half thinking if it was done on purpose. Why would C bother his arse burning out a car, plenty of young lads to do that. With CP out n about, is he hoping for a safe house in the system? But then again, I'm sure there's plenty of lads waiting in there for him. His sugar daddy in dubai won't give two fooks about him in there when he's not making them money.

    PC is nothing to anyone in Dubai, himself and his friend Carlito brigante took a bad hiding in jail by them lads. They ran off the landings over it and then they got involved when they got out after beating the attempted murder. C is asking for work off R.C so in turn K.B is giving him the work as RC is in Dublin KB is closer and KB and RC work together.

    As of this morning PC is on D1 Cloverhill block, as it is now for his own protection.
