Is that the little tubby lad? I've heard him arranging deals on his phone so he's not discreet about it, must think hes Tony Montana or something. He'll get his comeuppance one day if he keeps it up, these lads always do

Yes, I've seen him today, he's upgrade his Nike jacket for the jacket of aspiring druggies, the Canadian goose, but he still has his black and grey nike track bottoms.

Unfortunately the latest development down there seems to be an intrusion on the local farmers land. Two days in a row I've seen 4/5 scrotes in the grazing field (closest to Hansfield train station) harassing the cattle in there. Recording them with their phones while running at them. From what I've seen it's a case of the teenagers trying to provoke the cows in the hope that they chase them maybe? Perhaps in time the cattle will run at them and give them a good trample.

Farmer can put a bull in the herd and we'll see how attentive the little ones are! (In fairness, not a great idea, I could see them getting their free legal aid to sue the pants off the farmer afterward.)

In other news, I note a fair few residents up in Hollywoodrath pushing for community CCTV over the rise in antisocial behavior around the playground, imported by teenagers from nearby estates coming over to hassle folks. I do wonder about the effectiveness of community CCTV (and the uncertain legal status these days) but for now I imagine the estate is in the netherworld between developer and handover to Fingal CC, so not much to do for now.

did any of you see the video of George nchenko brother and mother being arrested?

I'm not sure there's any profit in commenting on any of that craic, there's a few videos carefully curated to make either the Gardai or the family and friends look like antagonists. I'm sure there will be plenty of official investigations and further complaints made to GSOC etc to figure it all out.

That's not what he said at all. What he said is that there are videos edited in such a way as to make the Gardai look heavy-handed, aggressive or whatever, not that they definitely were any of those things. And similarly there are videos carefully edited to portray the other side in a bad light too. Only by viewing the original, unedited videos can a proper picture emerge, but the problem is that many people may have viewed the edited versions first and formed their own, potentially incorrect opinions.

Precisely this and VonLuck's point. There's also the matter of understanding why the Gardai were there in the first place. One story from one side is that they were following a driver who had no tax or insurance. The other story is that they are harassing either the family or the black community in D15. There's a third viewpoint that they were following a car, ended up at the family home, and the situation escalated either because the family and friends were noncooperative or because the Gardai saw a chance to harrass them.

Each of these various storylines and edits of the video tend to conform to a previously held worldview of the person issuing or re-issuing the story.

Rocking up and speculating on the whole thing is either an exercise in significant supposition or arguing with people who had their viewpoints set the moment they heard "Nkencho" and "Gardai" in the same sentence.

As I said, very little to be profited from it. And in a more on-topic theme, hopefully Gardai and the community can get onto firmer footing with one another in the near future as it is to nobody's benefit in Dublin 15 to have significant friction.

Clamper at work in ongar car done outside pub on yellow line .

As far as I'm aware you can only park on the main road and at dunnes carpark.
The management company won't sell a parking permit to residents who haven't paid the yearly maintenance charge and run the risk of having their car/s clamped outside their homes.(excluding driveway)
But I've seen many clamps removed and left at the roadside, this morning was the latest.

In fairness the car i saw clamped this morning was on yellow lines at the side door of the pub almost at the junction bad place to park so no surprise it was clamped have seen parts of clamps around the back of the newsagent shop so obviously removed by somebody themselves .Little choice but to park in Dunnes now if you are calling in for something in any shop or buiness to be on the safe side .

There are some idiot parking in ongar alright. I was parked in the parking bay outside the thai place by romeos ri something and the owner and then the delivery driver then parked at the side of me blocking me in. Lucky the delivery lad had moved when i was coming back to car but the owner was sat in his and got out to walk around the corner. When I called out to him to move his car he told me to reverse even though there was a car behind me. He said that the shop was his and he could park there. Which was face on to the Curb on double yellow. He seems to think that the parking bays outside his shop is his. Anyone know if he is the same chap that took over darios iin coolmine who apparently isnt a fan of the irish public?

I must say I don't bother my backside with Ongar at all anymore purely because of the parking mess and the lack of safety around Dunnes for pedestrians and generally really. Its a mess, especially after dark.

Between Littlepace and Clonee village and the occasional spin to the new big Super Valu in Dunboyne, theres nothing I want to come to Ongar for.

I heard that the Ongar Green ManCo are introducing parking permits for the houses. Anybody else hear this at the AGM?

Two kids no older than 12 were on the roof of the paddocks and threw a concrete slab off the roof outside the off licence entrance, I was inside and it sounded like somebody was falling through the roof.
They climbed down somewhere at the back and walked through the carpark but one ran when confronted by the big guy who works there, the kid who stayed was about 8 or 9!

Maybe its because Littlepace and ongar are like a ghost town around 9pm so more places to "play" and nearly kill someone.

Doesn't matter what school they went to, pat Kenny went to O,Connells school as did Christy Kinahan.

Shouldn’t make a difference to judging the crime and the sentence, but you don’t need to be statistician to see that crime and socio-economic status have noticeable patterns.

Individuals who have sociopathic tendencies and who hold higher education qualifications, nothing new there!

Thanks for the information, were all very happy for you.

Just saw some videos on Twitter. Hope everyone is ok

A Garda shot in D15. Given the disgraceful stuff being spread about local Gardai by certain local councillors and former TD's since late last December, I look forward to their complete ignoring of this incident.

Oh really? Any information in the public domain?

Ongoing incident so there's a media blackout requested by the Gardaí, but there's plenty of videos on social media. Whitechapel Grove, well known criminal.

I meant about certain public representatives dissing Gardaí, I'd like to tackle them about it.

As for the media blackout, the Gangland thread has the name, that he is now dead and that two AGS were wounded, both in the foot. A slightly pointless blackout if true

From videos doing the rounds it seems the two plain clothes Gardaí both received minor looking injuries to the foot. Hopefully that proves to be the case.

Very funny video on twitter of an ERU Garda walking past a house armed with an MP7 and a tall bag of Sniper gear on his back.

Yeah, he gave himself up videos, pictures all going around, gardais hit in arm and foot

Read a few articles, but anymore details on how all this actually started? "The gardaí originally attended the address following reports of an incident. The man then blocked himself into the house, firing an automatic weapon at the officers. "

Don't understand why a criminal, rather than actual crazy person would be blasting at Gardai with an automatic weapon. What outcome was he hoping for? Its one way to guarantee an long sentence in our normally lenient system.
