€700,000 Cocaine seizure: Castletroy View

thanks hazel

good man starkie well said

i agree with hoof about this new irish nonsense. very few people lose their identity no matter how long they are living in their new country. although i have strong views on the asylum seekers i think it should be stringently controlled and not have an open dor policy which almost was te case a few years ago.. aside from that i love the diversity of the other nationalitysalthough i would be very suspicious of people coming here from the african countries , particularly nigeria. so the gist of my contribution is that i dont want our immigrants to lose their cultures or their accents. i love to walk through the city and see all these different cultures, most of whom are pleasant and law abiding.

tony g.
no i dont agree with you at all. most of these people are not addicted to drugs, the use them mostly at weekends. yes there is a number of addicts in limerick, but it seems they are mostly from the working classes, the people im talking about are the well heeled otherwise respectable people who take drugs, and while these people continue to buy drugs this cancer will not go away. they are equally as guilty as the dealers. thats my final word on this now/

a non national not a non nation as you describe it is a person not born in this country

micks mickey if you read the report on the limerick leader it describes them as non nationals i presume then its not limerick people that are involved this time nor irish for that matter ok

Think Hazel might be confusing two separate events that happened over the past few days. Those being detained in the Castletroy View seizure are local and no strangers to Garda hospitality - all three are connected to a Moyross gang.

William O'Donnell, aged 31 of Ballynanty , 46 years old Timothy O'Grady address at Hospital, Co. Limerick and Patrick Hogan age 26 from the Sandmall.

The incident Hazel may be referring to concerns two east European nationals (P.C. enough Mickey?) who were arrested last night on foot of a European arrest warrant and due before the High Court in Dublin this afternoon for an extradition hearing. Roxboro Gardaí and Dublin NBCI members arrested the two men in the city on Monday night. One other man attempted to escape by jumping from an upstairs window of the house. He was caught and was taken to the Regional hospital under Garda watch. All three were understood to be living in Dooradoyle and Raheen for some time prior to their arrest.

Roxboro Gardaí said they cannot divulge details of their nationality, but it is safe to assume that in this type of operation the men would be non-Irish nationals (still P.C enough?). With European warrants, Interpol would typically liaise with national police forces in securing arrests. btw, radio reports indicate that one Polish and one Romanian are involved (the other not divulged but is also east European)

Either way a criminal is a criminal....no matter where they’re from. So be it Ballynanty or Bosnia , they’re not welcome nor wanted regardless of whichever tag they choose to hide behind.

And as an aside, Mickey, you sound like one of those who like to describe immigrants in that most PC of terms : "The New Irish"...if what I witnessed in a well-known city centre bar serving lunch a few weeks ago is anything to go by, I'd keep that phrase for the meeeja types who seem to have invented it. A customer trying to embrace his multi-cultural credentials, in the course of speaking to the two Polish ladies working behind the counter, decided to refer to them as being "The New Irish"....bad mistake. They practically levelled him and took it as a grave insult, passing more than one comment about some of our less appealing national traits. Reacting in all likelihood as an Irish worker in the UK would have at being termed as "New British" I guess.

Despite the inflated notion of ourselves some hold, the reality is that not everyone wants to be Irish !!!.

Hazel, Come on! non-nations? They all have have are from a nation and its are Ireland.

Did you not get the memo? No one uses the term non-national anymore more because it sounds dumb. Do want to sound dumb?

Starkie what people dont realize is that drugs are addictive so its kind of pointless blaming the user . You can judge him all you want , but if you think people can stop taking drugs , like stopping wearing cardigans , it cant be done . They dont have much choice in the matter . Im not defending it but people get addicted to these things .

sorry paka.
but your wasting your time and also putting yourself in danger. you see most of the people in your area are using drugs as in every area. and they are equally guilty in this problem as the barons and pushers. so until they stop taking drugs this will continue . nobody is forcing drugs on these otherwose law abiding people. its a demand and supply situation. the buyers are committing a criminal act by bying drugs and possessing drugs so they are criminals. and they dont even realize it.

they were non nationals surpise surprise

Well done to the Gardai with this find and arrests. As a resident in the area its terrible to see these scumbags setting up shop near where I live and hopefully they will get the message that its not tolerated in the area.
Make use of the confidential Garda hotline and help to rid your area of these scumbags and drive the dealers out!

The Garda Confidential Line Number is: 1800 666 111

thats right hoof. i always point out this fact about the people using drugs. i see them all the time pulling up outside the dealers houses. i understand also how the young people get hooked into this culture. bad though as it is, it has nothing on the gangs in l a. did you see the ross kemp programme tonight, scary

look their caught now so get over it like,ye sticking in the dirty comment isnt going to make any difference so its a waste of ye're breath if you ask me

No sympathy for them, but as always there are plenty more where they came from to handle the goods for their godfathers. Three more impressionable idiots will shortly go on the payroll and drive their skanky burds around in "company cars" until they too, end up in jail or the morgue doing their masters bidding.

More and more there's a tendency for these distribution points to be located in what people might have thought to be "quiet" estates and areas. No doubt the re-location of certain families to areas such as Dooradoyle, Monaleen, C/troy View and particularly (for some reason) Murroe by the relevant agencies has helped spur this spread. And as Starkie correctly pointed out, it's the customers who are driving this trade throughout the country, and indeed, Europe.

Anyone know if this house in Castletroy View was privately purchased and by whom or was it part of the re-generation-by-stealth that's been going on for the last year or so?

its the island mob

mules and fools.

I wonder which shower of scumbags are "employing" them?

no hazel.
theres no drug free areas in ireland. every family has at least one or more taking drugs. its a culture now here forever. its impossible to stamp it out. the only eay they will get rid of it is when the nice decent law abiding people stop bying drugs, which is never, these people think they are not part of the problem well they are and a big part of it .

white,,charlie,,cola,,what lovely stuff

no big names as usual. i suppose they are go fors. still i have no sympathy on anybody who involves tyhemselves in this killer business. as far as im concerned they are all the scum of the earth and i love to see them being taken down. they will get 10 years each because of the amount involved and they will be broken men at the end of their sentences. drug dealing does not pay. it pays financially for a while but they all either get jailed or shot. they have no quality to their lives. they are not very intelligent either. well done boys in blue.

jesus is any where drug free these days i remember when castle troy view was a nice area to live

everywhere else seems to say €400,000

Three men just charged in relation to that seizure

Good work, that will make it a bit harder for them to be able to afford to hire impressionable teenagers to becoeme hitmen for them.
