For fucks sake. This is up there with the penalty points scandal and the mcCabe shit. There shoild be a public enquiry into the garda pricing of drugs. They should also set up a sales department to get rid of it. Theyād make the country a fortune.
I need to get back in the gameā¦
Not many gardai / politicians son/ daughters ever up
Heās a champion of the people now
Theyāre probably not doing it.
There was a big furore in Cork not that long ago when sitting TD Kathleen Lynch had a son caught doing a bit
A proper fucking Robin Hood
A proper Robbing Good more like.
That comment may have been tongue in cheek
Everybody knows that of course but sone gobdaws here will cling onto anything
I merely felt it had a certain alliteration or whatever the appropriate word is to itā¦.
Thatās some backtrack all the same
Eitjer way id like to see this fella given some sort of chance. Locking up 21 year olds for ages isnt great for society long term. An absolutely whopper stint of community service and a last warning to get his shit together.
Theyāve already tried that mate.
sone gobdaws here will cling onto anything
The ironing
Your man needs to learn some life lessons quick or youād fear for him. He needs to be taken out of the will until he proves himself.
Try it again. But give him the āreally, this is your very very very last chance speech.ā
Heās a young fella, made sone stupid mistakes, but he hasnāt killed anybody.
Iām blown away by the screaming Mary version of TFK on display, heās dealt a bit of weed, thatās it.
Thereās a young fella in every neighbourhood doing similar, sone day it might be one of our own kids
I would think the stakes are much higher when itās a politicianās or guardās family. I do know of a woman who did something similar to Allen but with much smaller quantities years ago. Shipped back ten pills or something like that for personal use in the post from Amsterdam. Really stupid stuff. Customs intercepted and the guards came to her house. One of the lads arresting her recognised a man in a photo with her, who happened to be her father and a retired colleague. She still went through the legal procedures, and her father never stepped foot back in that Garda station he had worked in again she told me.
Thereās a much bigger deal being made about this young lad because of who he is. If he was one of our kids, it wouldnāt be making the national press (barely a footnote in the court reports in the local press) and wouldnāt be discussed on forums. The young lad could be a bit of a brat or a bollix or whatever, or he might be just a bit messed up (Iām sure any young lad who had what his grandfather do would be a bit messed up).
Weed, coke, jailā¦ I donāt know many at that craic. A guy who lived up the road from me when kids is in jail for murder. My best mate as a kid is on the run in France. The campions, notorious hitmen and killer of old people in Clare, were just around the corner too. One of the Cratloe rapists was a couple of years behind me in school. But this fella is off the rails.
You grew up in Moyross and Westbury and you donāt know people whoāve dealt a bit of weed, taken coke or been to jail? I find that hard to believe.
Iāve lost count of the amount of lads who were in the Nagle with me that have been to jail,
Even a few lads in school with me in Newport ended up inside. Mainly Limerick lads, mind you.
