It's not that they care about what he does with his life. But rather how soon can it end.

Just don't understand how we as tax payers have to protect this scum and give him a Garda armed support to leave.

These people should not be allowed leave now saying that I would rather not have them living beside me but it just seems mad all these criminals can just up and leave the other side is with such lazy laws and rules we import plenty of criminals also.

Oh yeah so we let them run wild then? What if a innocent person was to get shot in a attack on him?

galwayrush · 17-03-2014 04:10PM

He's going home, to the vacant Teletubbie house.

rambutman · 17-03-2014 04:12PM

Have to agree with poster above "who did he murder"......sure he was only found guilty of selling pot and at that he was put away on circumstantial evidence (confession of another dealer who was plea bargaining for statement)..…...as far as the law goes he's no worse than Karl marks

Strumms · 17-03-2014 05:28PM

I doubt he will end up in Spain.. If you are to believe what you read the orders for his extermination came from Irish based criminals in Spain so I'd imagine he would want to keep well away. I doubt someone with a profile such as his can stay hidden for too long. The cops in the UK or wherever he goes ultimately will have had a heads up I'm sure and be keeping an eye on him. I'd imagine it's only a matter of time before he meets his maker though.

He operated in an industry that has it's foundation in violence and despite assertions such as " ahh he was only selling a bit of blow to those who wanted it" is BS. You only have to look at the poor electrician who was killed and all the countless innocent family members who suffered at the hands of gang violence...

Stavros Murphy · 17-03-2014 05:33PM

His bodyguard Dougie Moran was shot dead outside his home in Lucan yesterday, so obviously whoever has decided to kill Gilligan is not fooling around. Surely it's just a matter of time before someone catches up with him and doesn't miss? Third times a charm and all that. Nasty world they live in and I wouldn't fancy being in his shoes at the moment.

You are 100% right......"ah he was only selling a bit of blow" is no excuse....he was selling illegal drugs and that is more than enough to get you killed

depending on who you're friends with, obviously..some seem to get a pass, for whatever reason...

Aint Eazy Being Cheezy · 17-03-2014 06:11PM

Depending on which paper you read, says he left prison penniless and tried to put the squeeze on a few of his former cronies.

Chances are he may have been ok if he'd just gotten out and kept his head down. Hard to feel sorry for him.

There are massive grudges held against him across the world of organised crime as he is seen as being the one who caused the foundation of the CAB as a result of the public outcry after Veronica Guerins killing. I.E he brought huge heat onto the criminal world and millions upon millions were lost. Even people in totally non-drug related rackets were pi55ed majorly. Like most worlds, time moves on and new players emerge - and even if JG had done nothing after his release, the simple fact of who he was means people would be after his scalp.

Many of his close associates have also either been killed, exiled or are lying low till the storm passes. A major associate was killed after crossing the Russian Mob in Spain - they shot him and entombed his body in concrete. That man would have been a major facilitator for JG and would have arranged deals and logistics/distribution - he was a very dangerous individual and also very shrewd. Without him, and another Kildare based operator who dominated a lot of South-West Dublin both on his own and in association with Gilligan, and who was/is both very shrewd and a massive deal-maker who is now in exile as his life was also in danger, Gilligans power base was very much diminished.

I would know these men on a "Hows it going" basis, maybe a little better in some cases, and their lives are always a tightrope act, balancing staying ahead/in-with/away from the Law on the one hand and keeping ahead of the competition in their own worlds. Not a life I'd fancy, just too chaotic, fraught and cut-throat. There's always a new-kid on the block, usually more prepared than the last to wheedle, shoot, bludgeon and grass their way to the top. It's a tough old world they operate in. I don't envy them one little bit tbh. Every knock on the door can either be the cops or other robbers. That gets fraught. I'll stick to licking windows.

serious pic of him leaving the hospital in the herald today, i had to look at it a few times and still couldn't believe it, he's 100% defeated and finished in Ireland, imo only way he's coming back to Ireland is if someone gets him abroad

But is the island still there? And since he fcuked off, is it now just "island" instead of "Gilligan's island"? These are important questions.

The island is no longer there.

How is he funding his rehab abroad if he apparently hasn't a pot to piss in? The NHS would hardly cover it for a non resident for injuries sustained in ones own homeland surely (he is apparently in Birmingham)

How much money he does or doesn't have is a funny old tale. For donkeys years the usual suspects in the red tops have been writing about how he is still running imports and this that and the other with his smuggled mobiles and what not. Now they are telling us he is stone broke.

never believe anything the gutter trash rags have to say, he probably has a lot of money hidden offshore, cab would never be able to get everything, it would be logistically impossible, remember they were only set up as another form of "revenue collection" for the government and to satisfy the ranting rabel rabel brigade after veronikas murder

They have been pretty successful though, no? In disrupting organised crime, making rewards more risky and harder to hold onto for scumbags. Would it have been better if CAB were not set up?

No, it has done some good but not as much as you'd think.

Has it done any harm?, isn't taking any amount of money from criminals a good idea?

i don't think they make any difference to be honest, they may get a few quid here and there but the criminals are smarter then we think when it comes to money, in relation to cab though, i don't buy that ultimately they weren't set up as a form of revenue collection, veronikas murder was a good time to set it up though as it meant full support from the public for it without having to do any work to try sell the idea to them

no, either one can benefit from criminal funds or they can't, why can the state and should the state benefit from criminal funds? i think its a fair question

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 21-03-2014 07:49PM

Does the state not spend a fortune on protecting normal folk from gilligan et al. Cab attempts to recoup some of this cost.

You would want big brass balls to buy Jess brook -and not the Keyboard warrior ones either. lsnt his missus still there ...

Damn that Karl Marx and the way used communism the distract attention away from his drug-smuggling operations.

His wife is the named owner of the property adjacent to Jessbrook, the site itself and equestrian centre are separate. I'd say though that Gilligan has got the message and won't be bothering the new owners or anyone else again. It's time to just go away at this stage, it's more than evident that the new generation of Dub gangsters don't want him.

Well if he was bumped off then your precious taxes would have to go to funding an investigation, murder hunt, etc. Then there would be the trial of the killer and then there would be the 50 or 60 grand per annum to incarcerate the perpetrator that you'd have to shell out. I'm sure there would be other ancillary costs such as compensation for any Garda injuries sustained during the manhunt/apprehension as well.

Take your pick.
