    The front page of the Evening Herald today claims that the Provisional IRA in Dublin have issued a threat to a major drug & crime gang located in the west of the city following the murder of inocent dad Wayne Doherty. The threat was made last Sunday and coes after local residents have called on the IRA to take action against drug dealers.

    Supposedly the man responsible for the murder has gone into hiding and the parents of Wayne Doherty have asked for "no retaliation" for their sons murder. A senior police officer from Dublin is quoted as sayig "They [the IRA] want to use it to take a stand against drug dealers in the local community". The police also said that senior members of the IRA have threatened to shoot the trigger-man (who is well known) on sight. The Gardai have said they will not tolerate IRA vigilante activity in the area and have called for the Provisionals to withdraw it's threat.

    What's the threat?

    That they'll undercut the gang's prices?

    A drugs price war in West Dublin would be a most welcome recessionary measure, what with the world cup coming up.

    Interesting thread, I wonder will the people on other threads who talk about wanting to shoot all the gangland criminals now pledge their support or even go join them?

    I hope the parent's wishes are respected and the gardai are allowed to do their job.

    I can't see why this is such a big issue, scumbags are killing scumbags all the time, what makes the IRA different from your ordinary average scumbag?

    The man who was killed is far from a scumbag.

    That they hide behind history and heritage to carry out their criminal activities.

    At least the blatant Westie scum don't try to hide the fact that they're scum

    That has been debating thousands of times.

    People are crying out for help on the radio, local people.

    There is no evidence whatsoever of this so called threat. And if they did, who gives a monkeys? One less scumbag on the street. The PIRA has decommissioned, and any acts of violence would be seriously frowned upon by SF as it has worked hard to implement a peace process on the Island.

    Give me one shred of evidence or a name of an IRA volunteer convicted of such involvement, please.

    Bull****. I could just as well insinuate your involvement in drugs. The PIRA are long involved, along with many Republicans from ridding drugs from the streets. Unless you can provide evidence that the PIRA are involved in drug-running, keep your unfound comments to yourself.

    Sure nothing changes that's the sad truth.

    The media get involved for about a month, pour their hearts out on the story then leave and generally no resolve is found.

    All crap:
    this is the work of DA and the other FF'ers to have the new Criminal Justice bill rammed through.

    The whole episode has been carefully choreographed
