    The child was given a GIM, before he was killed, that in itself is a damning reflection on the guards in Drogheda.

    They had intelligence that this was going to happen and left it happen, a **** show by guards there.

    I couldn't give a feck about hardened adult gangsters getting GIM and been killed but the childs GIM was credible and took place in a way we haven't seen before here.

    Parked outside his house and follow the child for a few weeks, raid houses due to the threat of a childs life, arrest one for bail breaches, proactive rather than reactive.

    We are getting all this great PR, CAB raids, monies sezied, drugs found the media here are garda shills, nothing about all the above having no affect on illegal drugs supply or gangland activities as one locked up 100s are willing to take their place.

    A lot of CAB and ERU activity around Bandon in west Cork this morning targeting the network of a big drug supplier to Cork.
    A couple of dozen raids and cars, phones etc seized and bank accounts frozen.

    Hahaha are you for real? Seriously are you expecting the guards to sit outside the house and follow for a couple of weeks every scumbag that receives a GIM. Do you realise how much that would cost. FFS give your head a wobble

    The first part highlighted by you was in relation to the murder of the child, there's very few who would even contemplate that even to an adult.

    The second part highlighted by you, illegal drugs fuel gangland activities because they're illegal, the same approach over and over is having no affect and making gangland activities worse because they is so much money to be made and we've built our society around money which is everything now.

    Sorry, but it is not feasible.

    To back up your point, please tell me how many GIM guards hand out, weekly/monthly?

    How wasn't it feasible at the time?

    I don't know the answer to GIM giving out, but even the CSO doesn't use their figures they put out, do you know?

    Especially when on THE day of barbaric act, some of those involved made a specific point of walking streets of town and going to a bar, as an attempt of an alibi.

    If They knew what was going down or happened.
    Their random visit to a bar was not random. Getting their alibi outweighed risk of attack.

    Clever

    The resource isn't there.

    Gaurd hands out GIM, and on that basis it is advisable to get the fcuk out of town

    According to his mother KM obeyed his curfew for a few weeks and all it took was for one night to it slip and that was the beginning of the end. Yes he's a teenager but only in age not in actions of what he's put other families through, they didn't take him out because he wasn't going to trouble them in the future. The killers obviously seen and knew him enough that he was going to be dangerous. The GIM is the Gardaí doing their jobs, whatever the person receiving one does after that is their choice. He made decisions that caused the GIM, if any of his gang "friends” gave a damn about him they would of told him to go missing for a while so either he didn't get the advice or didn't believe the GIM.

    The fact of the matter was he was handed a GIM form so should have been taking necessary precautions I doubt they're given out lightly.
    Also he was out on bail and if he had been doing what his bail conditions set out he would have been at home and wouldn't be going into a hole today.

    you do realise some of these lads use GIM as a badge of honour and if anything go about there daily things or even on social media to stick two fingers up at the rivals, if you believe for one minute that this young lad was hiding under his bed from these bad lads i think your very mistaken.

    There's a difference between a threat to life made and a credible threat to a life.

    The under resourced chestnut,
    The Garda budget for 2020 will be €1.86 billion.
    Thats mismanagement now under resourced.

    On the basic of a GIM the protection of life is paramount more so in the case of a child with a credible threat to their life.

    I know some treat a GIM as a badge of honour, but this was a child who was groomed from a early age, big difference between the child and an hardened gangster adult.

    FFS, give up harping on about the child. You're like a broken record at this stage.

    Not your ornery onager

    I agree on the Garda mismanagement as they handed back over 1 million on the 2019 budget. He wasn't far away from being an adult hardened gangster by all reports here and everywhere else. Being groomed is very much an issue these days with the money in drugs and that plays a part but it doesn't mean he's innocent of everything. Unfortunately he didn't obey he's warning and paid with his life. The Gardaí can only do so much also but the GIM is there to give him a warning and what he does it with the Gardaí can't control either.

    That gang he was apart of are all pretty young, I doubt there was much grooming needed for any of them to be honest. The stories you hear about them from a young age would suggest they've always been scumbags. Bad upbringing in a bad area = high chance of being a scumbag unfortunately

    The same child was convicted of intimidation of a single mother and her son and burned there house and pet cat why should he get 24hr protection if hes wasnt worried about the threat and still carried on like normal you expect the garda to follow him round like a bodyguard service 24/7 when plenty of law abiding people need the help of de garda too. Limited resources ya kno.
