Cabins set alight in Cahirdavin

The extremely politically correct amongst us would claim that the youth of today commit acts of vandalism because they have nothing else to do, so why, would someone do something like this?

At approximately 2300 hrs on Saturday night, the two cabins at Cahirdavin Celtic soccer club were set alight.  One of the cabins was a changing room with six electric showers, and the other held vital equipment needed for the club to function.

Now the kids have one less thing to do in their area as the club will have to play it’s scheduled home games somewhere else.  The resources are not there to replace these cabins or the equipment.

One would love to get into the minds of the people who did this to find out why.  The people who run this club were not doing anything to anyone, just getting together a couple of times a week to kick a ball about.

An act of this scale cannot be too easy to keep to oneself.  Someone knows the person responsible for this.

The most depressing part of all of this is that it is unlikely that anyone will be caught for it.  It is a repeat of the destruction of Sammy Bensons band hall or Anne Curley’s playschool.  The dogs on the street will know who did this, but no one will come forward with information.

The full story can be found in the Leader.

    Caherdavin has gone quiet rough lately - there are gangs of kids and teenagers hanging around the areas that can be quiet intimidating. Its a shame cause there is great community spirit in Caherdavin. There are lots of houses facing that green. Someone must have seen something. Also the Greenhills carpark backs onto it so I would assume there must be some CCTV footage somewhere.

    The thugs that carried out this crime have no morals or education they did the same in 2002 to sammy bensons band hall .They are so so dumb that they do not realise that they are deprieving decent children from playing a sport they love and also the work that the mentors of the club have done is gone up in smoke what a shame.These knackers should be put out to graze i a desert.
