Crime Courts Law

Toale stole a large kitchen knife from Centra and ran down the street shouting at the tourist and brandishing the knife at head height.

This particular offense is a tricky one in Ireland. Either you get a sentence of 4 months or you get shot. Luck of the draw.

Not unless you run straight at an armed garda, usually.

Some crazy numbers here ->

Gardaí took more than 245,000 sick days last year due to malicious injuries suffered on duty, accidents while working or because of mental health issues.

Illness leave for officers worked out at around 17.5 days for each of the 14,000 gardaí on the force.

Also backs up the idea of high injury rate for Gardai over the course of their career ->

A total of 20,713 days were lost after gardaí suffered a malicious injury while on duty which included attacks on them by criminals and the public.

Only going to get worse mind you...

From RTÉ

A man has been remanded in custody after he appeared in court accused of carrying out an attack on a woman in a south Dublin suburb earlier this week.

Seif Waleed Al Hindawi, 22, of no fixed abode and believed to be from Syria, was charged with assault causing harm to the woman who suffered facial injuries in Churchtown on Wednesday night.

He was detained for questioning over two days, charged yesterday evening, held pending the next sitting of Dublin District Court and then denied bail by Judge Monika Leech

The judge noted that the accused and the woman did not know each other.


The woman told gardaí she was held on the ground and bitten on her face and lips.

The garda said the woman sustained a cut on her lip and was treated at St Vincent's Hospital.


The man did not address the court and listened to the proceedings with the aid of an interpreter.

The court heard he did not provide an address and had no valid form of ID other than a card given to him with a date of birth.

Refusing bail, Judge Leech held that he was a flight risk.

Flight risk? Put the cunt on a flight.

[astfgyl]

Believed to be from Syria?

Because he said he was? State of us here

Flight risk? Put the cunt on a flight.

And a good few more alongside him.  Some laughing stock the place has become, a fuckin Aussie was slagging me about it at work two days ago

When normal human being politicians like McNamara or McGrath, or even mild mannered DJs on the radio pull the establishment party line pricks up on it, the 'answers' are incredible.

Qui bono?

Hoteliers and party men are making a killing on it

The first 19 convictions weren't enough to send him back then. So how much has he cost us now, with the big effort?

got her husband to get into bed and pretend to be her 110-year-old relative when Department of Social Protection officials called to her home

Clearly not the brightest wouldn't 110 years old be one of the oldest or even the oldest person in the history of the country? How did she not think this would have caught people's attention.

I wonder how long she would have continued it had she not have been caught. He would have ended being 130 or 140 by the time she died and it stopped.

Edit: Just read the article and 110 did make him the oldest person on record to have ever lived in Ireland  which is what started the investigation.

Ah lads       at that

I liked the Sun headline I saw in the shop today for that story - Six Feet Plunder 

[astfgyl]

A "foolish" young American woman who brought over a quarter of a million euro of cannabis on a flight into Dublin Airport claimed she thought the drug was legal here, a court has heard.

As bad a defence as I've ever heard

A SERVING IRISH soldier who beat a woman unconscious in a random street attack, and boasted about it afterwards on social media, has walked free from a court after getting a fully suspended sentence.
