Best news ive heard in years, basically all those pure dog **** pathetic excuse for human beings AKA tracksuit wearing pieces of filth scumbags that are a member of any gang wil go to prision when this new law is rushed through, so i would expect to see all those limerick and dublin hoods off to prision even if they havent commited a crime

:D:D great news but its a petty they didnt go further and take there kids off them them and put them up for adoption to give them some hope in life, bascially i think the Guards and army should be allowed to pick up any scumbag piece of filth, there easy to spot with there tracksuits and white runners.

a gang does not need rules, membership or roles for those in it, any hierarchical or leadership structure or continuity of involvement.

So...any 3 or more people, on the word of a Guard? :eek:

Yeah its great news wish i was a guard myself to get a few scumbags off the street.

All these scumbags already have multiple convictions, they've already been caught time and time again. The should still be in fckin prison.

This is handing too much power to the guards and the minister.

Should those boys in Donegal have had this power?

Kama · 30-06-2009 09:55PM

And into our overcrowded prison system?

Maybe we can provide some muhc-needed employment in the construction industry building new prisons, and some shiny new public-sector jobs in the Prison Service while we're at it...

Iskenderun · 30-06-2009 10:41PM

I think we are being a bit too hard on these 'scumbags'. After all, they have to get up early in the morning to attend social welfare centres. And can you imagine living with the trauma of not quite remembering how many kids you've fathered in the past year?

Spudmonkey · 30-06-2009 10:51PM

What sickens me is the humans rights crowd up in arms over these poor people... but there wasn't sight nor sound of them when poor Roy Collins, Shane Geoghegan etc were killed...

Yes, beggars belief that this is going through...

Ireland is about to become a VERY dangerous place...

Joey the lips · 01-07-2009 09:25AM

I thought it great news but wondered what prision are they going to house them in and more importantly what type of crim are to going to let out early to get them in! Electioneering me thinks!

But good start, a better start would be a new prision program.. Oh i forgot we just dont have the money. Ahh shame,. we will just have to let them continue on the robbing spree driving up the cost of insurence etc.

BraziliaNZ · 01-07-2009 09:34AM

why don't they just overcrowd prisons like they do in russia etc? To be honest, it's not the gangsters that bother me, they seem to only shoot each other, drive cars around etc., it's the normal hoodlums roaming the streets kicking innocent people to death over cigarettes etc and being extremely anti-social that bother me, what rules are they bringing in to tackle that problem?

Im glad your not what with you wanting to lock people up for not commiting anything and the fact that you think all tracksuit wearing people are scum.

You sure you didnt mean to post in AH?

and the fact that 3 or more people can be considered a gang on a word of a guard is worrying from a civil rights pov.

like some one posted above the lad in donegal would of been locked up for life because of corrupt guards in donegal.

But its a well known fact that the guards arent corrupt(only in donegal and they have long since left the force)and we should not worry about them picking/bullying on petty criminals(anyone remember dean lyons?)

Knee Jerk legislation at its finest. :mad:

BraziliaNZ · 01-07-2009 09:46AM

people giving out about this - what do you think we should do? NOT get tougher on crime?

The problem is my friend - parts of Ireland that you are entirely unfamiliar with are ALREADY a very dangerous place. Go visit West Dublin, Knocka in Cork, or O'Malley Pk in Limerick and come back to us and talk about Ireland becoming a dangerous place.

And having scum lording over whole housing estates in a reign of terror is worrying from a day-to-day living pov.

Interesting to see which way the balance tips for you.

ednwireland · 01-07-2009 09:49AM

according to the radio this morning extension to detention periods will be able to take place without the defendant or any of their legal representatives being there.
really not sure on this legislation we need to do something with these guys but is this the right way ?

Hagar · 01-07-2009 09:52AM

Am I the only one who thinks this will make no difference?
There's no gaol cells to put them in and the gaols are like social clubs for these guys anyway, free food and lodgings etc etc.

solice · 01-07-2009 10:06AM

Scumbags like those that killed Shane Geoghane and Rory Collins deserve no sympathy or support! As far as im concerned they forefitted their rights long ago when they began killing innocent people.

I would ask that the Minister go one step further, instead of putting in a maximum sentence of 15 years for some crimes, I would instead put in a minimum sentence of 15 years. Our prison system is too easy, murder will get you 12 years or so in prison! Bloody disgrace!

As for people thinking the guards will have too much power, firstly I would imagine that all people involved in these gangs are known to the guards. They know who to look out for. So if you are walking down the street in your white shiny tracksuit and a guard passes, he wont say anything to you unless you are a memeber of the criminal gang.

Lock em up, lock all those scumbags up!

bernardo mac · 01-07-2009 10:20AM

Quite right! Let the do gooders,the civil libertarians walk through many housing estates or city areas at night.These gangs have successfully spread the terror culture among the law defying young.The courts have become havens for them,not an institution that should be respected and feared,if they are guilty of assaulting,intimidating,terrorising,murdering passers by and their own neighbours.

Donna Cleary? Shane Geoghan? Pipe bombs in residential areas? Heroin and cocaine being sold to children? Gangsters are social parasites in working class communities, polluting areas with class A drugs and generally facilitating all the other sh*t that occurs in working class estates.

I wear tracksuits, I have tattooes, dare I say it, every evening I walk my beloved Staffordshire Bull Terrier around my gaff. God, in your eyes I'd probably qualify for the death penalty would I?

for your fashion sense maybe

It will never become that extreme. The criminal gangs are known to the guards. Hell we all know who they are! Something has to be done to stop what is happening.

There was a march of solidarity in Limerick not so long ago. The people are fed up of being terrorised. Its not happening in little pockets, the gangs are branching out and killing innocent people you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is not just in Limerick, this is in Dublin as well.

Front page of the indo yesterday, gangs use girls as young as 8 to terrorise families and carry out arson attacks. 8 years old. Is there any hope that those children will grow up with some sort of moral compass?

Martyr · 01-07-2009 11:18AM

bit of a red herring imo.
where are the government planning to keep these gang members?
Mountjoy? :rolleyes:

The 158-year old jail is creaking at the seams. It has a capacity for 540 inmates but the numbers have been consistently higher for months - with more than 630 inmates sleeping everywhere from the reception area to concrete floors and in cleaning cubicles.

read more..

In holiday camps? with a tv or playstation to keep themselves out of trouble ... poor cretins will have little to do otherwise, except drink / drugs, cause trouble for staff.

The government will just let the "less dangerous" criminals out on to the streets, so long as its kept quiet of course..that includes murderers convicted of "manslaughter" repeat offenders for rape, burglary, violent assualts.

The system will wait for some poor bastard to get attacked, then the perpetrator will get locked up again for a month or two.

If you robbed a bank now or didn't pay your tax, thats different story - unless you were already rich and had friends in Fianna Fail, you'll definitely rot in hell...

well, mountjoy is definitely over-crowded.

But the subsequent overcrowding crisis has led to a dramatic upswing in the number of criminals being released on temporary release orders (TRs) at the discretion of prison governors. In October 2008, more than 360 offenders were on temporary release out of a population of 4,012 prisoners. This compared to 189 on the same date in 2007 out of a prison population slightly below 3,500.

Last month, more than 560 offenders were out on TR orders out of a prison population of 4,430. But even though almost 15 per cent of prisoners are out on TR, the occupancy rate is still running at 106 per cent across the state’s 15 prisons.

whats wrong with the death penalty for repeat offenders? it makes sense.

Nice thought but it doesnt work in the part of dublin where I live.The guards harass criminals and joe soaps alike.

Dont get me wrong im all for going all out at the gangs but i dont think there are enough safety checks in the legislation to stop some people being banged up wrongly.Also the new law is being rushed through the dail just before it closes for the summer,leaving it possible that it could be full of legal loop holes.

gurramok · 01-07-2009 11:22AM

Guess it boils down to, can we trust the Gardai to pick up the right type of scum people for this law and can we trust the govt to actually keep them in prison by terminating the temporary release programme?

I think anyone wearing a tracksuit in public for anything less than sporting reasons should be fined

Sand · 01-07-2009 12:03PM

I dont think it will be as easily done as people imagine. Judges and lawyers love trying to talk down to and make fools of guards in their courtrooms. They are probably drooling at the prospect of taking on the poor unfortunate Gardai who try to bring someone to court using this law.

So doubt the Guards will descend on these scumbags and start rounding up tens of thousands of them as soon as word reaches them that the law is on the books...

Roll on the fashion police!:D

Just ask any tracksuit wearer where the stadium is...good luck getting an answer.;)

So we have strong laws that are not enforced for any reason, nothing new there. It reminds me of the fireworks law or the L driver law, all just for show.
