St. Annes Park Gardai

Anyone know whats going on? Part of it is cordoned off by the Gardai, screens up, searches going on. I am presuming another body.

(Watermill Road and coastal part)

I am as curious as you are. Looked on the Indo and Times site and could not find anything. The Gardai were still there this afternoon. It was mentioned on 2fm news but no details there either.

lightening · 01-12-2008 04:33PM

I found a body there before, it was never mentioned on the news.

It could be that missing Romanian girl! Certainly enough Gardai to make the find seem important.

I remember they found a body around there last year, turned out to be a homeless guy.

Varkov · 01-12-2008 04:53PM

It was a guy dressed as a clown apparently. He was on his way to work and was shot. Gardai are treating it as possibly drug related.

KTRIC · 01-12-2008 04:55PM

There's been many a body found there. Nothing new to be honest.

I understand completely. It must have been pretty distressing for you & sad for the ladys family.

Wasn't really to be honest. I assured the family it was a pretty peaceful and serene scene I came apon and it actually was the truth. The coroners court wasn't nice, family were very upset. However its a very very well run place, the coroner himself and the staff are excellent.

Being involved in watersports all my life, its not the first time I have come across one. I am sure you are the same giving your work nature.

Seriously ??

Varkov · 01-12-2008 05:42PM

Thats what I heard anyway, could be BS. But its a reliable source.

Degsy · 01-12-2008 07:16PM

Dressed as a clown?
Either a peado or a pierrot!

trout · 01-12-2008 07:20PM

I just passed there now ... there's a tape cordon and two guards on the coast road side still at the scene ... maybe more inside the park itself.

I think there have been bodies found in that particular corner of the park on a few occasions in the past 5 - 10 years.

Any news links on this one ?

lightening · 01-12-2008 07:52PM

Just passed on my nightly run. Asked the Garda on duty what the story was, after not answering my query of how she was she looked me up and down and said "I can't tell you" in the snootiest voice she could muster.

And I thought good policing was talking to the community.

It is. That's why we have Gardai.

lightening · 01-12-2008 08:05PM

Seriously, I live around the corner, I could have witnessed something.

camel toe · 01-12-2008 08:07PM

a clown shot?

I wasn't having a go. I agree with you. I've always found the Gardai a 'mare to deal with.
On a by the by though I was having a scoop earlier in Harry Byrne's and one of the chaps reckoned it'd something to do with drugs. Now he may not have a scooby doo what he's talking about but it's the word on the street (well in Harry's at least).

Oh I know!!! Sorry, I wasn't clear. Normally I find them grand to deal with, just some of them could brush up on their manners. Imagine I treated someone like that in work!

Yeah, I see that Tannylan, just thought it might be her.

I agree 100%.

If I was ignorant to a civilian during the course of my work I'd fully expect to get hauled across the coals for it.

In fact most of us (I hope) would go out of our way to project the Defence Forces in a favourable light.

Speaking for myself, I love dealing with the public and I'm lucky in so far as I'm in that position.

santosubito · 02-12-2008 12:10AM

They're looking for a body after a tip-off. They found nothing today and it will onctinue tomorrow. It's not the Romanian girl, but someone who disappeared some time ago.

I was a foreman on a jury there recently and I have to agree that the Coroner and his staff made the ordeal into something facinating rather then morbid.

Are you talking about the body they are looking for now? Why would you be dressed as a clown on your way to work? did he worked for Fossetts or Dublin City Co Co? I live near and people are saying it could be someone missing since eight years ago, I don't want to say to be honest.

I dunno why they're bothering to look.
There's no way they'd still be alive after being buried for eight years.
