Breaking news from Ireland

 

Garda refuse to arrest criminals in Tipperary Town, but they have been refusing to arrest drug pushers and criminals in Dublin and in many towns in the Irish Republic for many years!

 

The Garda have been abrogating their lawful duties for many years in the Irish Republic! It finally was exposed when it came to public notice recently on St Patricks Day 24th March 2009. This story began to unfold on the RTE radio program The Joe Duffy Show, when a woman phoned in and told Duffy about attacks in Tipperary Town on St Patricks Day 2009. She gave a false name to protect her identity! She described attacks on a group of American tourists on the streets of Tipperary Town on St Patricks Day. She told of a group of men, who we later discovered were from a settled travellers family, attacking a US tourist who was punched and kicked whilst on the ground. In the days which followed more revelations were exposed about a tirade of assaults by this group of men who were all related to each other in some way. However, at first people were afraid to speak out on RTE radio but more people phoned in and the listeners found out about the terror this family had been reating FOR SEVERAL YEARS, not only on St Patricks Day! We heard about attacks on children who were punched on the face by members of this thugish family and they then declared that - "they run this town!" The American tourist turned out to be a lawyer and after he was treated in Irish hospitals he immediately flew with his other two lady friends back to the USA where he lived. After a few days Duffy phoned him up in the USA and we discovered many unsavoury truths about the behaviour of the Garda in Tipperary Town! We discovered that the Garda showed no desire to investigate his assault but they said they knew who was responsible. This revelation that the Garda were unwilling to take action against these thugs was exposed to all of the listeners to Duffys radio program! Several other people phoned in and told a similar story after assaults on them and on members of their families, not only on St Patricks Day, but this had been going on for several years prior to this incident. One elderly man, who knew the thugs personally, was attacked and hit over the head with an advertising board after he came out of a shop. He went to the Garda station and reported the attack, only to be told by the cops that they it would not be wise to make a formal complaint against these men, as it would only result in further violence from the thugs in the future!

This was the first admission of failure to do their duty as law enforcers! This effectively gives the green light for criminals of all sorts to do what they like and get away with it because THEY KNEW the cops would not arrest them! NB: This type of Garda behaviour (tactics) has been noticed before and in other towns in the Irish Republic the local Garda have been doing exactly the same thing: they have turning a blind eye to drug dealing and to crimes by local thugs.

It was evident that the thugs were above the law and THEY knew it!

Another woman phoned and told her story. She was either English or was Irish with an english accent! She was a single parent living in a council house in Tipperary Town who told of a campaign of assaults on her and her property over 6 years by a group of thugs. She told of attacks on her home and how several of her cars were destroyed by these young thugs and when she went to the Garda they told her they would do nothing about it! She went to her local councillors and to at least one serving TD (MP) but they could not get the Garda to take any action against the thugs involved! NB: The English woman, who now lives secretly in another area after she was forced to move house, declaring herself as homeless, had been listening to the previous callers on Duffys program. She pointed out that a particular TD, who had been speaking on Duffys show regarding these thugs and who denied that he was aware of the accusations against this group of men, had been the very TD she had gone to for help after she had been attacked for so many years! The English woman said that she had lived in hell for 6 years and the councillors, TDs and cops refused to help her!

It is evident that only for the first brave woman who came onto the Duffy show and who spoke out, even on threat of violence against her, the Garda would still be refusing to do their lawful duty and arrest criminals!

And secondly, as the thugs made the mistake of attacking an American tourist, who just happened to be a lawyer, (drawing attention from an international audience) it probably would never have been exposed.

So to sum up: the cops consistently refused to arrest criminals even though numerous victims were prepared to press charges against them!

Theres something going on here regarding the cops in Tipperary Town!

One morning, I believe it was the 31st March 2009 or the 1st April 2009 on the Pat Kenny morning radio program on RTE , there was a discussion about a proposed phone number, to allow calls to be made by persons willing to give information anonomously about criminals and drug dealing. However, Pat Kenny and several callers were sceptical about this socalled independent initiative to help the Garda catch criminals! One caller who emailed in pointed out that he lived opposite a Dublin railway Station and he said that drug dealers were openly selling drugs without any hundrance from the Garda and the same thing was taking place all over Dublin! It seems that the Garda are making no attempts to arrest drug dealers at this time and they are confidently selling drugs in the most conspicuoius of places in Dublin!

In the late 1990s, Fine Gael TD Jim Mitchell, now deceased, complained on RTE radio and TV when he witnessed drug dealers openly selling drugs on the streets of Dublin, whilst Garda on foot patrol walked by and ignored their criminal activities!

Nothing has changed, except its got worse and on an immense scale!

The Garda must think that the public cant see that they are blatantly flouting the law, the law they are paid to uphold!

The Garda obviously think the public are fools!

One case that springs to mind is the Frank Shortt case in Donegal. He was fitted up by Garda for selling drugs in his nightclub in County Donegal and subsequently was sent to jail, but after several years he was released and set free. His case was highlighted in an RTE TV program which showed that Garda had deliberately fitted him up for selling drugs in his nightclub!

I have no doubt that the Frank Shortt arrest was a PR exercise by the Garda to make the public think that they were tackling drug crime in the state, when in reality they are protecting the drug dealers and the pushers!

However, drugs are being sold in numerous other night clubs, dances, discos and pubs all over Ireland and few if any drug dealers are being arrested by Garda at the time drugs are being sold in the clubs! The Garda are, it is reported in the press, making seizures of drugs but what is the fate of the seized drugs consignments? Are there independent witnesses to verify that these seized drugs are destroyed? No!

My immediated thought is: maybe these seized drugs are being quietly re-circulated back to the drug dealers and pushers!

Police forces in other countries have been proven to be involved with Organised Crime Networks - so why should the Irish people think that their police force would be different?

To think that the Garda are above suspicion is foolish and naive - given their track record in recent years!

Tipperary Town is only one town of many in the Irish Republic where the Garda are applying the same criminal tactics! The same sort of thing happened to me when I lived in Kilkenny, between 1994-2004. A relation of a serving Garda Detective Sergeant attacked me physically on at least one occasion, harrassed me with loud music night and day over a long period, but nothing was done against this Born Again Christian cult member. NB: The Garda sergeant was also a member of a Born Again Cult with several "house church" properties in Kilkenny City. There are a number of Garda in Kilkenny and in other towns who are both members of the Born Again Charismatic "Christian" cult and who also attend their local RC church in the role of eucharistic priests!

Six held over Tipperary town attacks

CONOR LALLY, Crime Correspondent

FOUR MEN have been arrested for questioning as part of a major Garda operation into serious disturbances in Tipperary town on St Patrick’s Day.

The arrests bring to six the number of people detained for questioning about the violence.

Just after 7am yesterday local gardaí backed by members from national units began a co-ordinated operation in Tipperary town during which the four suspects were detained.

The operation involved armed members of the new regional support units, the Garda helicopter and the Garda’s new mobile command and control unit. The four suspects, who are in their 20s, were detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.

They were being questioned at Cahir and Tipperary town Garda stations last night on suspicion of violent disorder in Tipperary town on St Patrick’s Day.

Up to 10 people were injured, many of them hospitalised, after a group of six young men known to gardaí harassed and assaulted people in the town over a period of about six hours on the afternoon and early evening of St Patrick’s Day.

One of the injured was an American man in his 20s who was in Tipperary with his wife and sister. He was set upon and badly beaten by three of the group after he had crossed the road in the town to avoid the men as they assaulted another person.

The American man was badly beaten around the head and suffered a broken nose, severe bruising and a suspected fractured eye socket. He was treated at three hospitals, in Tipperary, Waterford and Dublin and has since returned to the US.

A number of the other victims were men in their 60s or much younger men in their late teens. Some received punches to the face as they walked in the town, while others were more severely beaten and required stitches to head wounds.

It is understood the group responsible for the violence began drinking on the streets of the town early on the day in question.

The first two people detained were arrested in Tipperary town on St Patrick’s Day.

The two men, who have addresses in the town and are aged 18 and 22 years, were brought before Cashel District Court on March 18th and were remanded in custody.

They are due to appear before Tipperary District Court this morning to face a range of charges including intoxication, threatening behaviour and assault.

Both of these men are related to each other and are also related to the four men arrested yesterday.

Gardaí have taken statements from a number of people assaulted on St Patrick’s Day and it is understood a number of these have been able to identify their attackers. Some of the incidents were also captured on CCTV.

An Fear Rua - Tipperary town being terrorised?

Comment: by locals or listeners to the Duffy radio program:

Lay off knocking the ordinary people of Tipp town .
The Gardai had better get their act together and keep contant pressure on these individuals .

Watch them , harry them , hassle them , arrest them .

Prosecute them .

People have no faith in the law and are hesitant to stand witness against this scum because of fear of retribution .
Gardai do not rule the streets and this is the problem .
For a society to have faith in the law the gaurdians of the law must project to ordinary citizens that they are in control . This is plainly not the case in Ireland and Tipp town is the example being highlighted on this thread .

I said it on a previous post and I'm sorry to have to say it but
the Gardai are scours , gutless cowards .

Comment:

One woman on the radio today, made a very serious allegation that when her daughter and her boyfriend were assaulted in Tipp town last September, she claims that the guards would not let her daughter make a statement identifying the culprits, they said they would not let her do this for her own safety.

Surely if this were proved to be true, the guards themselves should be brought up before the courts for obstructing justice. How on earth are they ever going to get these lads if they are advising people against making statements.
