Ireland is a small country and an even smaller online community. I have my own theories on things but there is no doubt this thread is being monitored by SDU and major criminals. I know of similar cases indeed where one criminal gang were being discussed and indeed registered and responded on this very forum. Other high ranking gangland individuals actively making threats on facebook, and in other cases individuals online posts were put before them in Court cases and indeed imprisoned afterward.

Sadly i think if you look at the evidence there is no way the kinahans can operate like they do with out people inside the gardai and the sdu we need jim gordan from gotham to come in and clean the force up

gangstergossip wrote: » dont be sorry pet why dont you look the sdu up they deal with threats to the state AND organised crime gangs which i would say the kinahan cartel is both i wouldnt really class the NIRA as a threat to the state now in anyway they dont have the capabilities to be a threat to the state and there focus is on adifferent state for terrorism altogether when was the last time the NIRA committed a terrorist attack in this state? and international terrorism LOL they dont investigate any islamic terrorist groups here if isis attacked Ireland we would be ****ed it would be a massacre while the sdu are running around trying to catch a NIRA member shake a 2 bit dealer down for a bit of spare change
bubblypop wrote: » No. SDU are the counter terrorism unit in this country. While you may think there's no international terrorism here, Ireland is one of the big countries for raising money for it, plus it's also a country were a lot of radicalisation happens. When the US found Bin Ladans hide, there was a man living in Ireland on their top ten most wanted list. NIRA have not committed a terrorist attack, however plenty of CIRA & RIRA members have been arrested, with large amounts of weapons & ammunition. Do you think that because the bomb found in kilcurry co. Louth last year was destined for the north, that gardai should turn a blind eye to the fact it was made down here? As I said, there is an Organised Crime Unit in AGS.
gangstergossip wrote: » sdu gather intelligence on criminal gangs as well as terrorist groups they target any group that can pose a danger to the state and do you not think the cartel poses a bigger threat to the state than NIRA or any other dissident faction? and if it took the americans to find out that there was a islamic terrorist connected to bin laden living in Ireland who was on the top 10 most wanted does that not tell you how little the sdu know about international terroists. yea cira and rira have been arrested with weapons and ammo but organised crime gangs have caused far more bloodshed in the state in recent years than any of theses groups. i dont think the gardai should turn a blind eye to bombs been made here but i think they should be more focused on groups targeting our own state than neighbouring ones surely the safety of our citizens should be the priority over other states wouldnt you agree?
bubblypop wrote: » All gardai gather intelligence on criminal gangs. All gardai And I think you will find that citizens living in northern Ireland, are also citizens of Ireland. And even if they were not, they still deserve protection, wouldn't you agree? I would agree that there should be a specialist Garda unit tasked with monitoring criminal gangs, fortunately there is! OCU! Now, you should write to the commissioner perhaps, and suggest that her counter terrorism unit should also be used for criminal activity in Dublin, but I'd imagine she would tell you the same as me, there is an Organised Crime Unit! And they didn't need the US to tell them, I'm just letting you know something that is widely available, so you understand that international terrorism is not something we can ignore. Ignore it at our peril. Off topic anyway, just wanted you to sound like you actually know what you're talking about!

The other half end up assasinated in highly suspicious circumstances, and the killers are rarely if ever brought to justice. The smart individuals who get involved, discover hard truths and can get out unscathed. Others aren't so lucky and many have made their beds.

timthumbni wrote: » You mentioned them, not me. You were also the one who compared the psni to the Garda in terms of carrying weapons. I'm sure you are smart enough to realise why the psni and the ruc before them were armed. Do you think that all Garda should be armed with guns? They are not under constant terrorist threat unlike the psni so I doubt there would be a lot of support for changing the current policing method in the republic. Just like in the rest of the U.K. Aside from Norn iron I think it's nice if they don't need to have guns. Though things may change in the future.
