What are the Gardai doing about confiscating all the illegal firearms held by these known gangs?

Or are they too busy sitting in cars catching motorist doing 55km in 50km zones?

Put yourself in the gardai's position though.... an unarmed police force going head to head with an armed gang?

I live in the drumcondra area, about an hour before the shooting took place the guards were out in force in the area. a paddy waggon had set up a checkpoint on Richmond road and my wife remarked it was unusual as they were not interested in people's tax disks but we're looking at the people in the car. We thought they must be looking for someone, now looking back it seems they must have feared something was going to happen.

Even if caught they would be out in a few years

It was a job done by professionals and planned by a very clever fella.

Here's a true story about the same clever fella. He was out one night driving one of his taxis for the craic and he dropped off couple of lads at a halting site in Coolock. The lads did a runner.

The Gardai have a bit of trouble going into this halting site. It usually takes a a lot of planning and major support if they need to to do a raid. But the very next morning a JCB trundled up the N32 and turned into the halting estate and proceeded to plough through walls and every other structure in its path doing tens of thousands worth of damage. Lads came pouring out of the caravans with guns and surrounded the JCB. The legend goes, that the man himself stepped out of the JCB alone. The boss man on the site ran out and saw who it was and asked what the problem was. The Monk said that a couple of lads had done a runner from his taxi. The boss man put his hand in his pocket and peeled off a few hundred euro and handed it over and apologised.

I actually do admire this one in a way. I pulled up short in my previous post of saying that it was nearly good to see old school, smart gangsters again. Instead of jumped up coke fueled idiots. There will always be gangsters. I like The Monk. He has a bit of honesty about him. Not like Jim Mansfield - the "auld fella", who bought everyone. Watch as this thread gets shut down.

I do actually admire Gerry. I admire him a lot more than Jim Mansfield who flew hundreds of millions of drugs into the country through his private airport while he paid off politicians.

He was done. He had retired to the Canaries. He was forced out of retirement by some gob****es. But he is a different class.

Yer talking ****e. First of all the shooters are scumbags. Second they could have killed anyone, kids included. Third they shouted that they couldn't find one person they were looking for so they didn't carry out some perfectly targeted job. Just another bloody attack that will lead to more mayhem.

Ooh, I dunno, there's a lot wrong with the situation to be confident enough to take out a camera and take a steady shot. Well, fair play to them.

If you really want to read about a total policing and judicial cock up look up Peter Butterly's murder in Gormanston 2013. The ERU were tracking Alan Ryan's gang, guy still got assassinated. Gang was immediately caught and trial was collapsed 2 years later.

A project by Fintan O'Toole and The National Museum of Ireland. It includes the object above, labeled “Decommissioned AK-47,” reputedly from the IRA stock and now on display at the Collins Barracks in Dublin.

Between 1985–87 four shipments of arms and explosives successfully landed in Ireland by boat skipper Adrian Hopkins, totalling around 150 tons. The fifth, on Eksund, is intercepted by French Customs. Libya had sent a total of 300 tons of weaponry including 150 tons of Romanian AKMs, SA-7s, Semtex-H, RPG-7 rocket launchers, Taurus pistols, and other materiel.

Serious questions to be asked of the gardai. They must have known and if they didn't they must be totally incompetent to not even have officers at the event.

My thoughts exactly. Same thing happened in November at the red cow. A boxing event endorsed by the same gym. Attended by the same gangsters. Yet they just think it's gonna be all dandy today? Mind boggling.

From the amount of information online, took about 10 minutes of article reading about what was known leading up to this, it does worry me that any investigation that was ongoing, couldn't predict something like this could happen, especially since the victim was warned his life was in danger!

Not feeling sorry for the criminal, but feeling sorry for those innocent people that were there and had to go through this!

Sounded too professional though to be any old cocaine fuelled outfit run by Anto the drug dealer!

You do the crime, you do the time. Ive been saying this for years. THe softly hands off approach is not working and is directly responsible for the rise in crime. repeat offenders have not learned the error of their ways, not after the 14th conviction, and especially not after the 55th .
But hey at least the lawyers are getting paid for their repeat offenders. Repeat business is the corner stone of any business. whether its a candy shop or a lawyers shop.

its enabled people like kinahans etc to become more ruthless knowning full well they get off scott free, since the low level scum are usually the peddlers.
ah go on, shure your only on your 20th conviction youll only do 6 months, be out in three.

its a natural progression, the more you bend the rules, the more inclined you will break them. its not rocket science.
its like kids, you let them run riot when they are small in their formative years, do you think theyll become writers or artists or poets when they get of age, for arguements sake ill say some do. the vast majority dont.
