Limerick - Crime and Priorities

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday January 27, 2003 21:14author by Paul O'Donnell

The gardai, the government and many others are now crying out about the need to tackle crime in Limerick. The truth is there were more Gardai involved in the security operation at Shannon last weekend than are currently involved in the hunt for the abducted Limerick brothers. We know where this government's priorities are Mr. O'Dea.

Law and Order has broken down in Ireland, with older
people feeling very unsafe in their homes, yet
habitual offenders get off scott free..... ask the

The people out in shannon should not be using the Garda's time when there is bigger problems to look after. The people in shannon should should get a life and go home. They are not going to do anything anyway. It's there fault there is not enough Garda to find them lads.

Limerick gardai have admitted recently that a number of top gardai will be stationed in Dublin for next few weeks at trial of republican sinn fein members. This reopens tomorrow.

I'm constantly surprised how this story and its implications for civil liberties has been totally ignored by ALL media.

For a quick reminder look at this link

The Gardai are there to protect Uncle Sam and his Weapons of Mass Destruction at Shannon Airport. If standing up against war and slaughter makes me a fool I plead guilty. A fool with a conscience. I shall take a bow and persist with my foolishness.

I am afraid that to the powers that be, including Willie O'Dea, assisting the U.S. forthcoming resource war is a higher priority for their police force that working class communities in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and other urban centres around the country.
