    If they going direct for slaughter to the butcher then they need their blue cards to accompany them, if he/she is buying them into their herd for further feeding then you need to complete a compliance cert/movement.

    Three local empty properties cleared over last week. Copper, rads, a new kitchen, appliances, heating, wiring.

    These short days suit scumbags and thieves by giving so much cover.

    These clear outs follow a set pattern at certain times of year. Around here they can be timed with an influx from the UK at Christmas. Trailers and horse boxes as well which disappear on the ferries in the new year. Same around communion/ early summer wedding season with similar activity. Like clockwork. Can't understand how AGS don't mount sting operations for same ...

    If Brexit goes ahead there will be more customs officers at the ports and more searches hopefully.

    I heard on the radio last week that recent searches and inquiries about individuals with outstanding arrest warrants has forced some people to reconsider their return home for christmas.

    I think the Garda operation in Rathkeale is a great idea, long overdue.

    We went to local village today in the car, we had just driven out and a northern car drove in. There was a lad working in the house and he went out to him. The lad looked surprised and got back in his car and said he'd call back later. The man that was here took his reg

    There's a fair operation going on tonight, out west, don't think a mouse will cross the shannon, and not all high visibility.

    Clean cash for dirty metal, no questions asked. This is a problem and it feeds a whole criminal empire in stolen metals.

    Worst thing is house hasn't been empty here all week because of sick kids. So we were most likely here when they helped themselves.

    Was on way home once, neighbour pulls out and we meet about half mile down the road, when he passed our place a jeep and trailer drives out and up to the neighbours, I drove up too, there's yer man going around looking into the windows, I take reg, he tells me he's from Longford cavan border, but he didn't know a very well known large family there, ring the guards, they said we could do with chatting that lad. That crack of stealing fuel after delivery is going on here too.

    Putting the hole in the tank is the worst thing ever, if it spills, can be very costly to rectify.

    Yea, I've cameras up all around the yard, because of how far it is from house. Didn't want to to have them up around house too... But maybe. Garda said to put lock on tank, but I think thats just asking them to drill holes.

    One crew here put a pick ⛏ through the tank to empty it, my bil tank was thirsty so he put a camera up, this hand came from behind the tank and opened the tap, twas like the Adams family, f***ers.

    This time 10 years ago my uncle died suddenly. He had gotten a fill of kero before he died. After the funeral they noticed there was no oil. The fookers had drilled a hole in the side of the tank. Bastards. Not only were they down the oil but had to get a new tank too.

    And 12v pumps, they got a lot of oil, but no sign of much foot traffic on grass. I reckon they had a Bowser and long length of hose.

    Our local political representative went on his holidays, they emptied the tank. They rang the supplier and ordered another tank which they helped themselves to before he got home from holidays.

    Years ago oil from the tank was being syponed off - never the full amount so it wouldn't be noticed for a week or so. Apparently some enterprising non nationals were doing it as a business.

    Tank now behind locked gate, lock on tank and a camera pointing at.

    Stories like that helped me decide to put geothermal in the house. No tank to rob here thank God. The green diesel tank is locked into a shed
