    Wonder if the guy has been stupid enough to forget about his €490,000 under the floor boards?.........

    I think we should just set up a forum for head shops.

    These are all obviously arson attacks for insurance claims no? The owners are probably getting a bit antsy due the whole comotion going on

    Nope. Most likely drug dealers getting pissed off about the publicity the head shops have been getting. But they needn't worry...once the rebels without a clue have succeeded in their campaign to ban the head shops, the dealers will be alright again and business will pick back up. Then people can get back to whinging about drug related murders.

    Not obviously at all. Gardai have not ruled out the Capel Street shop being targeted by either vigilantes or drug dealers.

    hmmm... should I leave me bed and go in to do some work ? (I'm a freelance photographer - these pics could make me a couple of hundred euro)

    unconfirmed report of a fire in town ...hmm.... I'm 20mins away from North King Street.

    will text a friend to find out if theres a fire or not (she lives in the apartments on North King Street ...I dont remember seeing a head shop on the street though)...unless they mean the hairdressers.

    EDIT: She says she cant hear any sirens....she's already in bed and not getting out of bed unless the fire is in her apartment :D ...all I can say is that the fire if its happening is not near the cobblestone pub (her apartment is next to that)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 882 ✭✭✭darragh16


    Think its the one facing the college, only about 500m from the first head shop. If it is true, i'd say it is locals

    On a completely unrelated note, is one able to libel an illegal paramilitary organisation which is involved in the illicit drugs trade, I'm wondering, IReallyAm?
