    Funny - I was talking to a fella from Cavan over the weekend and he mentioned Granard in a conversation about Quinn Industrial Holdings.

    Nothing to do with anyone who would align themselves with any much discussed 'minority ethnic group' but to a family that neck of the woods - just chat locally but one to keep an eye on.

    Also the chat locally is that the Quinnes did not cover themselves in any glory when they were a no show at the march(s) on Friday - if they were that 'appalled' by the kidnapping they should have got off their arses!

    They're definitely in on it. (speculation of course)

    Seen the guard that did the p1ss take video calling out the fireman got suspended from teh force.
    Absolute farce.Ridiculous you cant even have a bit of banter.

    While the travellers commit violence ,drugs extortion and make hundreds of call out videos,its somehow seen as disgraceful by the traveller community that the Police did banter video.
    Im getting seriously sick of travellers crying victim while they commit crime and crime and their fellow travellers say nothing.

    Battering old people,drugs,murder, violence machete attacks???Not a word from the travelling community.

    garda make a banter video for a charity fight while raising thousands for temple street and the fools are up in arms.

    Tell me about it, read today on the financial times that a hedge fund manager lost his job over saying to his co-worker that he would hire an assistant and call her "sugar tits" can't have the banter anymore in any job it's a pure joke.

    I heard something very similar from a man local to that area today. Now it could be that he's local, but he didn't paint the victim in a good light. It appears Quinner was a victim of a double cross as it were.

    The gist of what I was told is that a gentleman's agreement was broken, and this is payback.

    Looked very amateurish. Also, it would seem that the Toyota Avensis is the vehicle of choice for every single criminal act these days.

    I know. I have one. I'm waiting to be pulled out by the neck by ERU one of these days. :pac:

    I must say though, they are a pretty anonymous car.

    Word in Cavan is that none of the people being looked at have paramilitary connections.

    The attack was timed to coincide with a visit by a visit from an American hedge fund.

    Why the Guards have been so stand offish in this whole case, outside for years is telling as well.

    Yeah exactly I find it very strange. A bit like the whistle blower case

    Undercover - is bit of a stretch! Was a regular snapper and then went down the road of snapping the 'underworld'.

    The bit I saw Stephen Breen was on a bit - he's news ed. in The Sun and has written two books - one on the Cartel and another on Freddie - very interesting books.

    A 23-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the murder of John Gibson in Dublin two years ago.

    Matthew Bell, of Ambervale in Tallaght, was arrested just after 9am this morning at Cookstown Way.

    Detective Garda Kevin Bowen gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution at Tallaght Garda Station.

    Judge Gerry Jones agreed to a request for legal aid.

    He remanded the accused in custody to appear before Cloverhill District Court on Friday, after receiving medical and psychiatric attention.
