Explaining is…
I put the guts of 5 weeks with my 75 year old uncle doing up my one. I couldn’t face potential of another lockdown looking out at the shitheap it was.
Couldn’t get rid of the uncle but have ended up with something to be half proud of to look at and can spend what’s left of the late evenings in it.
I just wanted to mask my pop at TSG
Hannan and Leddin need to go for a pint.
More than 300 officers took part in the raids
Gardaí have arrested 12 people following a “very significant” series of search operations targeting the assets of a criminal network based in Limerick.
Members of the Defence Forces assisted An Garda Siochana in 65 searches that took place at dwellings, businesses and on land near the outskirts of Limerick City.
Officers arrested seven men and five women. Eight of them, five women and three men, were arrested for suspected money laundering offences, two were arrested for suspected drug offences, one man was arrested in connection with breaches of the Control of Horses Act, 1996 and one man was arrested in connection with the possession of an offensive weapon.
A number of them will appear before Limerick District Court.
During the operation Gardaí seized the following:
More than 300 officers took part in the raids, including from the Criminal Assets Bureau, Garda Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau, the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau, the Emergency Response Unit, the Armed Response Unit, Regional Dog Unit, Air Support Unit, and Revenue and Customs.
The searches are a follow up to “Operation Coronation”, which resulted in gardaí seizing around €700,000, drugs, weapons, and the deeds to a Dubai property, in June last year.
Two firearms, including a handgun and a bolt-action rifle, as well as an extendable taser baton concealed in a plastic wrapping, were seized during last year’s search operation targeting the Keane/Collopy gang.
This morning a series of searches got underway, including in an area of wasteland adjacent to Delmege Park, Moyross, Limerick. An armed army unit patrolled the area for a number of hours, and left the scene shortly before midday.
A number of other areas are being searched as part of the ongoing garda investigation. A garda source said the searches were a follow up to last year’s Operation Coronation targeting a “crime group in Limerick”.
“There are significant numbers of personnel involved in the searches,” they added.
Last year’s search operation targeted 67 homes, premises, and locations across Limerick, Clare and Tipperary, leading to the arrest of 20 people.
A number of those arrested last year were brought before Limerick District Court and charged with drugs offences.
Gardaí recovered €260,000 in cash, as well as €200,000 which was held in 11 bank accounts, three cars worth around €100,000, jewellery and watches with an estimated value of €100,000, drugs with a street value of €23,500, two cocaine pressing machines, and €6,000 worth of clothing.
The Keane gang, which has tentacles across the country and abroad, has been involved in the sale and supply of drugs and weapons for the past two decades.
More shame for the horsey set
Hardly worth bothering their holes for that amount with that amount of people.
Well sure that couldn’t have known that until after they’d bothered their hole.
Ah yeah, Shur leave them off, they were doing no harm
The last few charges sound like they were really reaching for arrests.
Taking the horses away would generally cause more grief than taking the drugs
I heard of one family where taking the horse away would have also meant the drugs were being taken away at the same time too…novel hiding spot shall we say!
How did they value the cash?
Sterling innit
Six charged following major garda operation targeting assets of Limerick drug gang
McNamaras, Collopys
Anything to Dolores
Basically they arrested anyone with a nice watch in Moyross
Negatory
A small weed and cocaine operation, absolute small fry.
What the actual fuck is with the horse related charges. Did the Irish law enforcement system just now discover that lads in Moyross have horses. They had horses 30 year ago when I lived down the road from there, and they were breaking whatever laws then they are breaking now.
What a country.
You have this one nailed
