Crime boss Dundon turns to hospital for liposuction
Saturday April 17 2010
FREED vicious crime boss Wayne Dundon has sought liposuction surgery for his widening girth from two of the countryās best-known private hospitals.
The Irish Independent has learned that the notorious Limerick criminal has turned to the Mater hospital in Dublin and Barringtonās hospital in Limerick to remove excess fat.
Dundon was freed from Wheatfield prison on March 19 after completing his sentence for threatening to kill Limerick barman Ryan Lee in 2004.
It is believed that Dundon has been on the waiting list of the Mater hospital for some time, but frustrated by the lengthy delay, he turned to his local hospital in Limerick ā Barringtonās ā seeking consultation.
It is understood that he was in the hospital in recent days but has not received surgery.
The hospital, which provides a range of medical and cosmetic services, was selected by Dundon this month. There was no hospital spokesperson available for comment last night.
While incarcerated at Wheatfield, Dundon used weights and was personally trained by convicted drug dealer and former Irish super heavyweight boxing champion John Kinsella.
However, Dundon now seems determined to have surgery on his lower torso in a bid to shed unwanted pounds which he was unable to lose during his intense fitness regime.
Since his release, gardai in Limerick have been carefully monitoring the movements of Dundon and his associates.

Probably deserves a thread of itās own but here you have in a nutshell everything that is wrong with the justice system in Ireland:
Thief jailed for 10 months back out in two days
By Barry Duggan
Monday April 19 2010
A JUDGE has ordered that a senior prison manager explain why a criminal who received a 10-month jail sentence was back on the streets committing further offences just two days into that sentence.
A representative of Limerick Prison management has been asked to appear in Limerick District Court on Wednesday after the man walked out of the prison on the temporary release.
Judge Tom OāDonnell said he was interested to know the criteria for a prisoner to be granted temporary release.
Paul Foran (27) received a 10-month prison sentence on March 23 for committing a number of offences while on temporary release from a previous 10-month sentence handed down in January. The crimes included stealing a laptop, an iPod, a PlayStation games console and jewellery worth ā¬1,400 from a house at Grove Island, Corbally, Limerick, on March 3. Ten days later, Foran stole two laptops and a camera from an office building at Little Ellen Street, Limerick, and was arrested on the same night after he was observed acting suspiciously with a claw hammer outside the offices of an accountancy firm at Henry Street in the city.
Drugs
Defence solicitor Sarah Ryan told Judge OāDonnell last week that Foran was sentenced to 10 months in prison last month, but he was freed on temporary release two days later.
āHe didnāt want to be released,ā Ms Ryan said, as her client wanted to avail of drug treatment. Foran, of North Claughaun Road, Garryowen, Limerick, is a serial offender who has recorded 92 criminal convictions and has had a long battle with a variety of drugs.
He pleaded guilty last week to stealing kegs of Guinness and Budweiser from the Salt House restaurant in Limerick on March 9.
He was also arrested for trespassing at the Grove Island student complex in Corbally on March 11. He was later granted temporary release two days into his last prison sentence.
Judge OāDonnell said he did not want to sound critical ābut questions have to be askedā.
He said that Foran was āback on the streets committing further crimeā two days after being sentenced to 10 months.
The judge remanded Foran in custody to appear before the same court on Wednesday and requested that a representative from Limerick Prison be present to explain what the criteria was for inmates to be allowed to leave jail on temporary release.

That is no way to talk about Limerick Person of the Year 2008.
By the by, is he the same Pat Whelan as has the bar in Newcastle West?
I doubt it lad, Pat Whelan doesnāt go west of Southās.
most definitely not. you would not want to insult that Pa Whelan in NCW
Sound, I had have seen a few banners at Munster games saying Pat Whelans Bar, so I thought it might be the same person.
The fella in newcastle is a good man to throw on grub after a match.
Limerick man Sean McGowan is now very close to finishing his attempt to row solo across the atlantic ocean.
Itās 2548 nautical miles from start to finish, but in reality he has done way more than that as he was blown off course on a number of times, and on occassion spent full days rowing just so he could stay in the one spot.
I am fascinated by his will to succeed in this. He started on the 4th of January and will probably be another week or so before he reaches dry land, all going well. It must be very tough mentally to keep plugging away at something like this, and imagine your being right for a long time after it.
Fair play to him though, itās some going.
130 GardaĆ!!! That must be a typo surely?
9 arrests in Limerick anti-gang operation
Friday, 23 April 2010 11:48
Nine people have been arrested by gardaĆ in Limerick in an operation aimed at curbing gang-related criminal activity in the city.
The arrests were made in a major pre-planned operation by gardaĆ early this morning.
Up to 130 gardaĆ were involved in the operation searching several houses in the Ballinacurra Weston area on the southside of the city.
Nine men aged in their 20s, 30s and 40s were taken into custody and are being questioned at a number of garda stations in the city.
Seven of those detained are being questioned under the new gangland legislation introduced last year. They can be held for up to a week if necessary.
One man is being held under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act and another under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.
No weapons have been seized as yet, but searches are continuing.
The operation was carried out by local garda units, assisted by the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the Emergency Response Unit and the Garda National Immigration Bureau.
Doubt it. There have on occassion been up to 250 gardai involved in their dawn swoops in Limerick.
Jaysus thats some number. The last time there was that many of them in the one spot would have been Templemore Iād say.
They draft cops in from all the other divisons for the morning, then send em off back home again when they are finished. They have one these spectacular swoops every few months, pictures appear in the paper, guys get arrested, then released without charge, file gets sent to the DPP and thatās that.
Cops are seen to be taking action, papers get their stories, criminals are let go again, and everyone is happy.
Iād say heād have enough lactic acid built up to fill a car battery.
Itās crazy. This is a chart of his progress:
Thatās not THE Sean OāDowd of Ding a Ling fame is it? Showband legend, must be 70 by now.
āthe guaranteed 16 per cent annual return on the investment has not materialisedā
they must be fierce innocent to believe that. Only a financial genius like Bandage or Carter could deliver a return like that. Or the King of the Dutch Bet.
