    Just because she is related to the McCarthy's and he is "related to the McCarthy-Dundon" gang does not mean they are related themselves.

    He could be related to either a wife of one of the McCarthy's or be related to a Dundon.
    Yes. Hence the word "might", and my comment in my first post that it wasn't clear if they were blood relatives.

    The mere fact the article knows the family names just fking galls me.
    that's worse imo.
    State sanctioned violence is always more shocking than criminal violence really.

    Yes it did really happen. Here is another thread where I mentioned it - where its veracity was supported by a reputable poster I dont know personally.

    Are you kidding me??

    Of all the neighbours comments after this Dublin murder, almost everyone of them mentioned that pretty much every other week there are bomb squads in their area doing controlled explosions, it has gone out of hand so much. That pipe bombs etc are being left on doorways.

    I have heard sweet FA about much of this, certainly not on a weekly basis.

    If one of the 'family' members blows his nose in Limerick it is seen as a gesture of intimidation and threat and mickey, johnny and joey In Dublin are on the Limerick hit-list again. It's actually humorous at this stage.


    This type of journalism is actually embarrassing. The lads in Limerick probably didn't give a flying fcuk, but not that they are reading that they are 'expected' to do something about it, they probably will. Just for the craic.

    It'd be odd a fire starting in Limerick to spread a 100 odd miles to Dublin.


    Firemen not doing their job.

    Nonsense!

    I like the simplification of this debate.

    That's my opinion anyway. Clearly you dont agree. But an agent of the state is no more likely to avoid this sort of splash damage than a criminal. An agent of the state is no more likely to be right than a criminal. The only difference is one is supposed to be bound by laws while the other is not (by its very definition). Take away those laws and what do you have?

    Why give these animals coverage in the papers. It only encourages them.

    I moved from Limerick to Dublin recently.
    I work in a very busy shop just off Henry st.

    In the last few months, I've had Gardai calling into my shop to ask about a murder investigation in the area.

    A very serious 4 on 1 beating just down the road.

    On Christmas Eve, eve (ie: the 23rd) I walked past security mopping up a masive pool of blood in the Ilac Center (still not 100% sure what happened, I was told by a witness it was a violent attack and stabbing).

    And the piece de resistance was the running battle on Henry street involving more than twenty young gang members with knives, baseball bats, chains, and metal pipes.
    This on a Saturday afternoon I may add.
    Resulting in three people rushed to hospital, one of the gang members, and two innocent people who were crushed in the stampede to get away.

    Not one of these was reported in the news.
    I checked at the time, for obvious reasons.

    Now if there was a running batle on Cruises street in Limerick, first page news.
    Somebody gets stabbed in broad daylight in one of the busiest shopping streets in the country, on the second last shopping day before Christmas.
    Not a word in the national media.

    And all this is just what I've noticed, in the few months I've been here, in the area where I work.

    I can see why a lot of people from Dublin don't understand this.
    Unless you're there at the time, or know somebody involved, you never hear a fraction of the stuff that happens.


    I mean, I've lived in Limerick for most of my life, and I was only in Dublin two months before I was threatened to be stabed for the first time.
    Gotta laugh.

    So hes 21 and shes 16. So by a school system she'd be in 4th or 5th year depending if she skipped? And if he went to college he'd probably be in 2nd or 3rd year ?


    Staying classy I see..

    You're making the rather generous assumption that they can even read.

    So do you think that the Limerick thing is just where the media chooses to focus on? Kinda like The Wire or something?

    I can see it now. Going for a cycle up the Dublin mountains on Sunday and looking down, "Oh Noes Tallaght is on fire", "Dial 112". They'll have to use a lynx can to set the whole place in flames.
    Just hope they get the Tallafornia guys and gals out first.
    I hate to see Cormac burn.

    The headline is from the Cork Examiner, drawing attention to Limerick & Tallafornia and keeping their own heads down, the fecken cute hoors.

    I wasn't talking to you with my initial post. It was directed at Krudler.

    He didn't include a "might". He implied that they were actual cousins.

    There's no Cork Examiner nowadays. It's actually more national than the Indo & Herald combined.

    16 in a Traveller family and you're not far off marrying age

    It's not quite the age gap you think

    She would have been considered a young women in that family, not just a teenager

    Fears gang may ‘set Tallaght on fire’ after killing

    This is pretty scary, anyone think it could happen? I can't imagine they'd go to war in the middle of the streets. It's so tragic that a 16 year old was killed, poor child didn't deserve that :(
    **** sake, the **** people start threads on here
