Gardai everywhere

patrickc · 13-07-2009 07:24PM #1

does anyone know why the Gardai are all over town? there were Gardai on the port laois road, the O' brien road (and they had detectives with machine guns on that one,) they were also driving all over town too, maybe saw 15 different ones on my hour walk.

they probably saw someone smoking a joint in the park

SV · 13-07-2009 11:21PM

it's due to the influx of travellers.

no lie.

I don't think its just in Carlow, because when I was driving up from Tipp on sunday I saw far more guards on the road than normal. Where usually I might see 1 for the full trip, i saw no fewer than 5 (3 on bike, 1 road block and 1 patrol car). Maybe just coincidence but still strange really!

Damn! They're on to me! Must flee the country, thanks for the tip off! :pac:

yeh I informed them on you for the 3rd time, as they refused to listen to me twice:pac:

Nead21 · 14-07-2009 11:30AM

is there any reason for the influx...wedding/funeral?

patrickc · 14-07-2009 11:32AM

was the cemetry mass last night...

apparently there were threats on others going to it, so hence the high Garda presence

The one in Tullow was Friday night.

HugoIrl · 14-07-2009 12:40PM

I saw absolutely nothing going on yesterday! My powers of observation were worse for wear being Monday!

patrickc · 14-07-2009 12:44PM

babybel21 · 16-07-2009 02:21AM

was it not because it was orange day maybe dey were on the look out for ppl protesting or something:)

Nead21 · 16-07-2009 01:30PM

it was on the Nationalist....concerns about a ongoing feud between 2 families, and ensuring that people could attend the cemetery mass thing without concerns of incidents etc

rua1972 · 16-07-2009 06:17PM

Does anybody know what was going on at the merck plant? It looked like a crime scene when past it on the way home.

Nead21 · 16-07-2009 06:34PM

was the body of the woman found there?? would make sense if it was 2km outside of town on the dublin road...?

SV · 16-07-2009 09:19PM

Yeah that's where the body was found alright.

it was the same in tullow but there was a graveyard mass goin on and it happennes every year

onzlo · 17-07-2009 12:16AM

Hey be decent i know its not the best place to live and have the least amount of fun stuff, but this only occurs when there is some sort of traveller wedding/funeral/important mass goes on, then they all come down to tullow from wherever and wreck the place. And besides when was the last time a body was found in a public place in tullow? (no harm intended)

onzlo · 17-07-2009 12:27AM

Its horrible i know but they wouldnt really be missed(maybe there cheapish flooring and furniture lol)

we'llallhavetea_old · 17-07-2009 12:32AM

Op, machine guns? Wha? Seriously?

patrickc · 17-07-2009 07:15AM

yeh they had the dectives out with the machine guns was mad to see.

Any word on the body?....sounds like a hit and run but you never know.

Not thought to be a hit and run. too far in off the road. Been there some time apparently.

Nead21 · 17-07-2009 09:56AM

where did you hear that? im trying to find information on the rte website...?

Quiet Lurker · 17-07-2009 10:43AM

Nothing on website. Saw it as i passed last night and it was well in. Word in town is that its not a recent incident

aynon · 17-07-2009 11:52AM

yea, passed by it myself today, it is a good 10 meters off the road, it has to be a dump and run, it looks to me to be well in the bushes. i saw the forensics crawling around in there this morning with the "sheet" covering them in. Nothing on the rte website yet will watch the 1oclock news and see if there is anything on that

SpitfireIV · 17-07-2009 12:03PM

Heard nothing on the radio news either (Radio one), hell, its Carlow, they usually dont bother with us.

Gardai everywhere
