As a local resident, I've always heard rumours from farmers about all the drugs in the area coming from a massive underground bunker. Supposedly most of the drugs were moved before the raid happened too. I'm curious just how big this bunker actually is; one of the neighbours was saying there's a lot more than just drugs down there.

Its a very small grow house if that's all they got out of it. They'd get more out of the standard attic

A lot more than just drugs???

Like what?

Some very shady stuff happening in that area over the past few months. Let's just say a few household names spotted in Dunmore recently, and I'm not referring to Tyson Fury! Will all come out soon I'd imagine.

What a horrifically written article

Its not the only bunker in the area either. Cousin of mine did time in castlerea and the Dunmore bunkers were regular chatter amongst the prisoners. Many notorius Irish gangsters have been spotted drinking in the Blue Kuku pub in recent months. I'd imagine most of the weed was moved before the raid

What's the Blue Kuku got to do with this? I haven't been in that place in years, although it'd hardly be my style.

The Blue Kuku pub is the life and soul of the area. Great pub with a great pint of Guinness.

I was in there for a bingo night a few weeks ago and all anyone would talk about was the bunkers. It seems gangs all around Ireland have been using them the last few years and going to the Blue Kuku pub as a meet up point on a Sunday for a soup and sandwich.

Interesting! I had heard a lot of chatter about bunkers in the area alright, but never gave much heed to them. I'm hearing the people arrested were blow-ins? Hearing from other people that they didn't even arrest the main culprits, hard to know what to believe.

Yeah they were only small fish arrested. They'll plead guilty and do their time. No way will they rat out the big fish who's been masterminding these bunkers for years
