Luke Kelly statue vandalised yet again for the 6th time this year.I dont know why this is happening .Luke was very politicial,infact he was a member of the communists party of Ireland,but he was never offensive. To anyone why antone would want to do this is beyond me
-
I blame the blacks
-

I concur

I dont think its anything to do with the appearance of t
It,I think there is political motivation behind it im not saying it was the LBTG crowd,or whatever tou call them,but I know when Luke was playing a part in Jesus Christ super star,whatever part he was to play,he said they want me to play the part of a ginger beer ( a queer) and he laughed.maybe thats who's doing this

Your Listen is Broken again DOllymount .Ill try for about the billionth time .There is a Man who is target No1 for organised crime he sees that statue when he looks out his front window the Fucking Ugly statue is in his front Garden .This mans life is in peril the Gards are supposed to be protecting him .If the Gards cannot see people deface a fucking huge statue of some minor singer how can the see the Shadow of a Gunman in the same area .Yes there is a political motivation in defacing the statue .It is that the Gards have failed to prevent the slaughter of a family .
-
How much did that cost and how much was the "artist" paid?
It is an ugly thing to look at......Spitting Image on steroids!!
-
"Some minor singer" ?
Are you for fukkin real Johnny?
-
Very Minor in the scheme of things he aint no Arlo Guttrie .
-
Luke a minor singer ? Thats an terrible assesment of Luke.I was talking to Patsy Watchorn a few months ago,and he reckoned Luke was the greatest balladeer of all time.I agree.Luke was the king of all us balladeers
-
Patsy Fuck off Dollymount Euan Mc Call ,Dillon Guttrie .Luke couldnt buy a ticket to see them .

Both statues of Luke Kelly in Dublin have been vandalised overnight.
Gardaí are investigating after white paint was thrown on the marble bust on Guild Street at around 11pm last night - the sixth time it has been vandalised.

For F**ks thats a bit of a leap.
You would do well in trumps america,the world leader in conspiracy theories.
It has been said that one individual from the area is carrying out the attacks,for whatever reason, who the F knows.
But you stick with your bizarre conspiracy.

You should read my post again.I said IDONT THINKit was anything to do with the appearance of the statue,ialso said IM NOT SAIING it was anything to do with the LGHTET crowd,and yes as a matter of fact I AM a strong supporter of president Trump,which has been well documented here

I'd say its a culchie that dont like the Dubs

Point out to me where I am dictating as to who you should or shouldnt support.
FYI without Liberalism, you wouldnt have your freedom of speech,(which you are using right now) civil rights, human rights, democracy, secularism, individual rights, etc etc etc

that giant head on the green in sherriffer is dangerous lookin.

In fairness dailymount has a point .....Johnny's theory is that it's a criminal seeking garda presence.....if that wer true then how come both statues done at the same time ? Coincidence
(https://i.postimg.cc/DJtd4vJH/375-250-sherlock-holmes-istock-178366909.png) (https://postimg.cc/DJtd4vJH)
In view of the recent black fascist destruction an vandalism of statues worldwide ...we can probably say it wasnt them on account of luke bein a socialist and even sang about the poor black fellows ....but I tink he sang a song about some black fellow the colour of coal runnin off wit his burd so maybe he was public anti black after and anyway the paint on the statue is bein going on for cople years so daily theorotisizement ( not a real word but shud be ) shud be examined further and not dismiss willy nilly and as flipantly as some of yis did .....
It cud be transsexuals who hate all the real men or in my estimation its probably Jews or muslims who want to rid the country of our irish music and culture even tho luke was half Scottish..or maybe a baldy bloke who was jealousof his big head of hair...but ide say yu have to look tru his lyrics ...must be a line in ther somewhere wer he states his dislike of some
Mad fuks

I looked up his Wikipedia and it says he used to live on Upper sherrif street but moved to the Uk then back to fancy Glasnevin.Perhaps one of his old neighbours thought he got a bit too snobby and the statue irritates them.
That's my crime-solving done for today..

AH DOLLymount would you look at what Git is saying ....Local councillor and former Lord Mayor Christy Burke has now called for a 24 hour community guard on the docklands statue, which was unveiled in January last year.
Cllr Burke says it is not only an attack on Luke, but an attack on art and the citizens of Ireland.
“I’ll join the patrol myself, but some action has to be taken until a more long-term solution is found,” he told Independent.ie.

Good auld git.he never lost it.he used help us out when we were patrolling Hardwicke st flats as well,trying to keep the drug scumbags out in the 80s.of course Christy is originally from Hardwicke st

Do you see what i mean now .How much would it cost to have Bren Gunn or his mate what he called Who Hee stationed outside your gaff to mind you when you could get the Garda to mind you for the price of a gallon of Dulux Gloss .

To the hater of beauty and art who is destroying memorials and burning artwork in Raheny and Santry, I say this:
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
A hate-filled empty life needing professional help.

Why is Kelly put on a pedestal over the others ? I love the pun doc,but to answer your question Luke was without doubt the greatest Irish ballad singer ,and this is widely accepted by all of us who were involved in the business.I remember tommy byrne of the wolfe tones one night out in the embankment .he said to me Luke was head and shoulders above the rest.funny enoughthe tones were always seen as outcast among the ballad groups,but Derek Warfield was a bit of a bollox so I can understand why

Christy and Jim Smyth had a yap, Christy had to clear it with higher ups and got involved with Hardwicke St residents. This led to Whacker and others getting involved in the Barn.
Luke had one of the most powerful, distinctive voices ever to come out of Ireland. Noddy Holder`s voice had the same properties.
I don`t like Trump.

If you are used to eating meat from a very young age..then it becomes a habit that you dont think about.We are Carnivorous by nature ...like some plants, and we are made to eat red meat.....I have to say that I have a problem with growing and killing animals to eat...My four grown children are all Vegan but my wife and I use conditioning as a excuse to exclude any meat from our diet.If a live chicken was put on my dinner plate I probably would starve before I would kill it.I do try to eat less meat but I still feel guilty about it.

Gerard is actually a nice bloke ratzer.he funded a certain boxing club,among other projects in the area.Anto flynn funded sherriff utd,and Gerard also was not found wanting when locals needed a dig out.ph hold on that may be an unfortunate phrase considering the current circumstances
-
You do know he fronted Checkers, DM? Must be the only dispatch firm boss in the country you like... but I guess Git would bury you if you said otherwise.
-
Rat im well aware of Gerards eauntrapinare exploits,and I STILL fukin hate dispatchers.and to put the record straight,I was not one of his lackeys,but I would suggest maybe tou are one of anto kellys the way ya keep promoting him
-
I haven't spoken to Anthony in years but I did work for C2K many years ago, it was a good firm to work for and he was always a fair boss.
Did Gerry have some issue with tax payments a while back... something to do with the Criminal Assets Bureau?
-
No I think your mixing that up with Anto who was featured on prime time if memory serves

Court grants Hutch right to become taxi-driver
Wed, Jun 6, 2001, 01:00
Dubliner Mr Gerry Hutch (38) yesterday won a court battle to become a taxi-driver after gardai said he was now a tax-compliant citizen.
The High Court was previously told that gardai suspected Mr Hutch was the leader of a criminal gang responsible for a £1.7 million heist in 1997 and a £3 million robbery in 1996. Mr Hutch - known as The Monk - had appealed a decision of the carriage office to refuse him a taxi licence.
Recently, he made a £2 million tax settlement with the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB), which had assessed him on the basis of a number of properties he owned in Dublin city and other income.
...
-
Ah yeah but Gerard handed it over willingly,while it took a fukin TV programme to expose your buddy.
-
Anthony's not a buddy of mine, he's an ex boss... and his settlement was for legitimate tax arrears not Criminal Assets.
Did Gerry pay you to keep his rivals out of the flats complex or did all the money go to the party/Git?
-
Ah go on now,tel the truth ffs,Anto is your buddy,the same as Vinny is Kens.its nothing to be ashamed of ratzer
-
There's only one thing RC should be ashamed of...and that's not having a shed.....yet!!
-
Ah go on now,tel the truth ffs,Anto is your buddy,the same as Vinny is Kens.its nothing to be ashamed of ratzer
Did you ever hear how the name Rat Catcher came about?
He was ratted out to Anto for smoking in the Taxi and came on to the old forum to expose the Rat .... our old friend Harry.
-
So, you're not going to tell us how much you were paid, if anything DM?
Like I said I haven't spoken with Anthony in years. I talk to Vinny from time to time but we don't always agree.
-
That's almost true, TOO. It was one of the base managers that called me and said someone had reported me for smoking in the car. I said, so what... she laughed and that was that. When I found out who it was I made a point of parking beside Anthony (in his view) and blowing smoke from the window as we chatted. Anywaysanall, all water under the bridge at this stage. In fact, we got on reasonably well after that episode.

What's Vinny doing these days? I heard Xpert were subsumed by Noel Ebbs?
Just checked, He's ....
Founder Director and Chief Executive of Xpert Taxis. ... NXT Taxis (merger of Xpert Taxis and National Radio Cabs) ... Marketing Manager at Lynk Taxis

just checked, Harry's still on the road, I was sure he was doing some course or something way back when, thought he'd be long gone
-
Vinny was still running Xpert/National last time I spoke with him... funny enough, I did get think his usual enthusiasm for the business was somewhat lacking at that time but he never said anything to confirm that.
I don't think Harry would need to do a course to get out, he's an ex Civil Service professional! His dad drove a taxi in the good old days so that probably played a part in his career change.

I was aware of that,I was told years ago by a member of CTA at the time
-
You could be confusing him with a bloke who posted as Night Rider - real name escapes me at this stage - TOO? I recall he seemed like a clever enough bloke and he was studying something or other.
-
There's only one thing RC should be ashamed of...and that's not having a shed.....yet!!
I was going to build the shed this month but the older not so young lad got his leg operation so that's half the workforce laid up for a couple of months... ah well, maybe next year!
I might start on the kitchen instead and get myself one of them new induction hobs...
-

I remember him Richardson or Riordan studied (law?) in Trinity, was aware Harry was ex revenue but sure he said he was studying for something or another, might be mistaking him with someone else, accountancy firms love to hire ex revenue lads

Lived down the country, if memory serves... maybe, Carlow.

Rubbed him up the wrong way RC....so to speak!!

The Hutch gang is using a network of taxis to ferry drugs around Dublin
A number of members of the Hutch gang have left for Spain in recent months
Jul 23rd 2017, 8:30 PM
THE HUTCH GANG is using an intricate network of taxis to ferry drugs around the capital as the traffickers continue to do business despite the immediate threat to their lives.
Despite most of the gang’s hierarchy fleeing to Spain in recent days, they are still “100% still active” in Dublin, according to multiple sources.
The gang has been involved in a bloody feud with members of the Kinahan crime cartel since September 2015, but that has not stopped them operating their criminal empire.
Sources have told TheJournal.ie that despite the murder of many associates, the gang is still operating and have formed a new agreement with dissident republicans north of the border.
“If you look at who has been killed around the Hutch gang, they’re not the top guys,” says one source.
“They’re largely on the edges of what they do. Some aren’t even involved at all.”
Thus far, 12 people have lost their lives in the bloody feud, which dates back to September 2015.
The Hutch gang did, however, have what sources say was a “lucky escape” in May when James ‘Mago’ Gately survived a hit on his life at a Dublin service station.
“If Mago had been killed, they’d have had a serious problem,” continued the source.
But you have to remember the amounts of money these guys are dealing with. They’re not giving up on that…
Gately left hospital a number of weeks ago and is believed to have fled Dublin.
The links to the north have seen the Hutch gang arrange the sale and supply of weapons with groups styling themselves on the Provisional IRA.
It is understood the arrangement will see weapons go both ways across the border, including a large supply of explosives.
The sophisticated taxi trafficking network the Hutches use is believed to involve at least 10 cars, registered as taxis in Ireland.
In some cases when the gang knows there is a checkpoint in a particular area, they will use dummy cars – taxis either driven by persons of interest or carrying a person of interest as a passenger – before approaching the checkpoint.
Gardaí will then pull them in and search the car for drugs or any other contraband they could be carrying. Meanwhile, a vehicle carrying the drugs has passed through the checkpoint without detection.
This intelligence has been met by gardaí with increased armed checkpoints around the North Circular Road area, some in broad daylight and others in the dead of night.
This week, gardaí arrested a man in relation to the ongoing feud between the Kinahans and Hutches.
A man was caught with a loaded handgun heading to Belfast. Gardaí believe he was en route to murder a high-ranking Kinahan associate who had recently been spotted in the Belfast area.
While there has not been a feud murder since the death of Michael Keogh off Dorset Street in May, gardaí still believe that another murder is probable.
Armed checkpoints will continue to be installed in both the north inner city of Dublin and the Crumlin areas where each gang is based.

O'Brien, I think was his name. Appearing in the audience on Pat Kenny IIRC.

He'ar, DM... Did Gerry put any of this work your way?

The Hutch gang is using a network of taxis to ferry drugs around Dublin
A number of members of the Hutch gang have left for Spain in recent months
Jul 23rd 2017, 8:30 PM
THE HUTCH GANG is using an intricate network of taxis to ferry drugs around the capital as the traffickers continue to do business despite the immediate threat to their lives.
Despite most of the gang’s hierarchy fleeing to Spain in recent days, they are still “100% still active” in Dublin, according to multiple sources.
The gang has been involved in a bloody feud with members of the Kinahan crime cartel since September 2015, but that has not stopped them operating their criminal empire.
Sources have told TheJournal.ie that despite the murder of many associates, the gang is still operating and have formed a new agreement with dissident republicans north of the border.

I afraid I would not be interested your ratship.im probably the most anti drugs person your ever likely to meet
-
... but Gerry is a nice bloke, isn't he... sure didn't he fund a boxing club anall. What if he told you there was no drugs, just guns?
-
Well thats the common belief among the neighbourhood that he was never involved in drugs,so who am I to disagree with that,and he actually did fund a boxing club for kids,so if theres anything else you'd like to know about him I suggest ypu make your enquiries to someone more closely assocated. Iwith him
-
He aligned with Cahil in the "ordinary decent criminals" grouping against drugs in the city, but that was a long time ago
-
I find it hard to believe that even you were that naive, DM, particularly given that you refused to disclose if you got paid for your selective vigilanteism... but then, he did fund a boxing club despite having no legal income... and when has boxing ever been associated with organised crime up above in Dublin?

It's how he earned the name The Monk because back then he didn't deal in drugs according to Gardai. Armed robbery was his Forte allegedly.

Did Cahill not align with the UVF... if so, Hutch was firmly on the other (right) side. Nobody on his patch believed he or the shiners were anti-drugs, if they were the streets wouldn't have been lined with junkies.

The streets were lined with junkies. Sure there are memorials to them on Sean McDermott St and over on the SCR and Sheriff Street.
