Poor wum effort
Not in my living memory anyway. It was rough but a lot of places were dog rough over the years
Like was this fued thing a weekly thing or did it just pop up every six months? I remember somebody telling me it all started over a few girls fighting in school.
stab city came from the 70âs as far as I recall.

The fued was a serious couple of years. There was some edge around the place for about 6 months at the height of it.

Stab City was coined in the early 90s by Gerry Stembridge.

A pal of mine was a guard based in Henry St at the time. He always said it was a grand gig, that you knew what you were dealing with and there was no real crime solving because you knew who had done everything⌠But that the rest of the city was grand and quiet

the gurriers very rarely went into town.
Thatâs right, more correct to say reused, but I think his use of the term on Scrap Saturday is where it caught on in relation to Limerick.
No. It was overhyped by the tabloids because it sold papers. Like every city in the world, once you had your wits about you, you are safe

In fairness to the guards theyâve a tricky job but apparently they done a serious number on these gangs once the resources were given to them in the area.
Henry street is piss just dealing with junkie thieves and drunken students, Roxboro thoughâŚ

No, I donât recall any major incidents in the city centre during the fued. It was mainly happening in the estates at either side of the city.
We were young lads in college so there was a bit of a buzz to it. The garda helicopter would be out at night youâd be getting all sorts of rumours.

Yeah it was serious but for the most part there were no humans involved.
