    What do people think Enda should do?

    Invite the guys over for a cup of tea and tell them what bad boys they are and that they should stop all this shooting.
    He might even suggest they give up drug dealing and take up a job bridge place to learn a new trade.

    Its up to AGS to sort it out.

    RTÉ Six One News showed it on the back of the tow truck with the Passat on the front of it. What they have done is the same level of feck up with the description as saying the car was a Ford Focus when it was a Ford Mondeo.

    If you look at 4mins 30 you will see it here on the Player, it's 100% a 7 Series...

    It's ridiculous to think the leader of a country is responsible for crime in the country.

    Just think about it, the world over, there is murder crime rape etc.

    So the leader of all these countries is to blame for it all.

    Absolutely silly argument.

    Sure there is no gangland crime according to a leader of a certain party.

    My point had nothing to with that gobsh1te from mayo

    I know this may sound far fetched but I wonder if Dowdall and his father are being tried in the Special Criminal Court just so the Government and Gardai can sneer at Sinn Fein.

    I know their entitled to be tried there but alot of gangland related stuff isn't. Im not a Shinner either btw, but nothing would surprise me. Kenny loves sneering at them lol. Wonder what the charges are, withholding information?

    And of course Northern Ireland is riven with 'former' republicans making merry criminal fortunes with SF in government.

    Kenny does not decide who gets prosecuted for what.

    It's funny that some posters accuse him of controlling who gets prosecuted for what for political advantage, while others blame him for not being in charge of investigating and prosecuting.

    This is the letter that Gareth Hutch wrote to the Welfare Officer he was meeting this morning about his request for a housing transfer. This put a more human face on the situation for me.
    “You should be aware of the background issues surrounding my family and I have been advised by the Gardai about my personal safety.

    "I live on the first floor in the complex and there is a back balcony which is accessible from ground floor level and is also at a point in the complex which is not covered by CCTV.

    "The fact that this black spot gives unrestricted access to my balcony is a cause of concern to me.

    "The situation surrounding my family and the security issue at my flat are the exceptional social circumstances under which I am making this application.

    "This situation is a cause of worry, concern and anxiety for me and more importantly, is possibly putting my child at risk.

    "This is the most important issue for me and for this reason I am asking for a welfare priority and transfer from the flat.

    "The ideal situation would be that I can stay within the complex as I have many good friends and neighbours there who look out for me and my son.

    "I understand that there may be some vacancies coming up in the complex and the flats involved are much safer.

    "I am on the transfer list and getting a priority would obviously speed up the transfer process.

    "I would be happy to discuss my situation with you on a confidential basis at any time and I hope you give this application your expert consideration."

    "Kind regards

    "Gareth Hutch."

    Indeed. Probably written by his solicitor. I wonder did Gareth Hucth spare as much thought for the victims of his own crimes?

    So the guy that handed himself in today for that murder; will he spend the night in the same prison as the Father and Son who are in court tonight?

    If Enda refuses to do anything about this, because he is "unable" :( , I dread to think how powerful those criminals will be in ten years time.

    The councillor Niall Ring helped him write the letter I believe, he wrote it yesterday with him in the office. He was interviewed on UTV earlier

    From the article:
    The worried dad-of-one penned the letter with the help of local councillor Nial Ring to appeal to Dublin City Council for help moving flats.

    Why pay for his own place when he can get the rest of society to pay for him? It would free him up for...other activities.

    It was written with the assistance of Councillor Noel Ring. Regardless of his previous crimes he made the point that he had a child and that his child was also at risk. That child is now without a father.

    The only way the ''cartel'' is every getting brought to its knee's will be by one of their own turned state witness,It will happen eventually someone will get caught on serious charges and shop all off them.

    I'm sure he wouldn't mind spending a few quid out of hes own pocket to safe hes life if he had it. Seems to be genuinely hard for some people to accept most of these people are not in serious profit.

    Nobody forced Gerry Adams and Mary Lou to stand up for Murphy and tell us what a great (criminal) guy he is. We all know that 'former' IRA terrorists are up to their necks in organised crime.

    A ridiculous thing for him to say, quite an eejit he is. Goes to show how little he and the political class give a toss about what's going on

    It's up to the gards to stop this not enda Kenny.

    People really need to stop blaming our government on every single thing in this country.
    If only we didn't have sutch a badly managed, corrupt and incompetent garda service.

    I presume the person who handed them selves in is the person who's house was raised around the corner?

    Who handed themselves in, missed that, I mean in relation to what crime?

    Is it this? Nothing about handing themselves in there

    Seems to be. I initially thought that maybe he handed himself in so quickly to show that he was innocent, but it looks like he has already been charged, which is unusual. Normally in these cases they are held for a few days and say nothing and are then released. Things seem to be moving a fair bit quicker in this case.

    Where are you seeing hes been charged?


    Maybe hes been caught on cctv red handed at the house and murder scene would be my guess and knows hes done,or else wants to clear his name.
