Missing Person – Deirdre Jacob Newbridge Co Kildare.
Deirdre Jacob has been missing for the past 18 years from her home in Newbridge, Co. Kildare.
In 1998 Deirdre who was attending Teacher Training College in the U.K. was home on summer holidays.
On 28th July she left her home to walk a 25 minute journey to Newbridge, she visited her grandmother, A.I.B., and the Post Office. At around 2:30 p.m. she left Newbridge to walk home. Deirdre was sighted a number of times on her journey home, the last sighting was at the gateway to her home, just after 3:00 p.m.
No further trace was found despite a long and exhaustive search by Gardaí, supported by many people in the surrounding area.
Gardaí believe that there is someone yet to come forward with vital information.
The Lions Club are now launching a new poster campaign to include a larger catchment area.
We seek your assistance at this time to coincide with National Missing Persons Remembrance day on 07.12.16.
All we ask is to distribute posters in high profile shops, public areas etc.
Attached is a copy of an example of the poster. Please print off on A4 size paper and display.
Theft of Luxury Cars in West Dublin North Kildare, South Meath 2014.
It is understood many executive/luxury car thefts are taking place in West Dublin, North Kildare and South Meath and in other parts of Ireland during 2014.
The stolen vehicles are not bring recovered. It’s obvious they are taken to order. The stolen vehicles are given new identification and exported or sold in other parts of Ireland to unsuspecting buyers.
Obviously the criminals scout around looking for suitable cars. They break into the owners house during the night, even when occupants are there and steal the keys. Unfortunately most people keep their vehicle documentation within the vehicle, which makes it easier for the criminals to alter the identification.
It’s most surprising that we see little warning from the police, or for that matter the media.
People do need to be made more aware.
Can any pointers be given that would assist the public in keeping a look-out for any suspicious signs in relation to what these criminals may look like, where they’re likely from and what type of garage premises they might have. Are they driving these vehicles immediately to car ferries?
Surely there are many characteristics the people can be on the look-out for?
Give the people more information and the gangsters will be tracked down quickly. Create the awareness and reap the benefits for the common good.
Any information should be passed on to the Garda.
The Garda Confidential Line Number is: 1 800 666 111
In an emergency, dial 999 or 112, as these will elicit an immediate response.
Any victim of such a car theft can post information, without identity, here for free.
Hey! Let’s be careful out there!
Let’s smack down these criminals that are in our midst!

Guerin Report Published Fri 9 May 2014 – Garda Siochana Sergeant M McC Download Full Government Version

The Government has today Friday, 9 May 2014 published the Report by Mr Sean Guerin SC on a Review of the action taken by An Garda Síochána pertaining to certain allegations made by Sergeant Maurice McCabe.
The Government will give careful consideration to the contents of the report and it will be discussed at the Government meeting next week.

You will always get the full behind the scene picture from Arthur O Hara.
People can say what they like about An Garda Siochana – its their right! A right that is protected by the forces of law and order – An Garda Síochána.
Irrespective of how badly some may wish to portray the force, it’s work goes on 24X7X365 under circumstances that are being made extraordinarily difficult by the powers that be and additionally without adequate realistic resources. The members of An Garda Siochana are forced to improvise with their own personal resources and in their own time to try to get the job done and to endeavour to keep us all safe and have someone we can, as citizens turn to when in real trouble and in order to prevent anarchy and massive social disorder, which is not far below the surface in present times. Hardly a news bulletin goes by but that we hear of the daily multiple successes all over the country of the Gardai against criminals, the major investigations being conducted, even under such adverse working conditions. Also the compassionate actions taken daily in matters of tragedies and disasters.
A simple in-service training programme does not exist to keep members of the force up-skilled on an on-going basis with rapidly changing times and legislation. Yet the full rigors of the law will be brought to bear on a member of An Garda Síochána should he or she fall short in the exercise of their duties. There is no shortage of money when it comes to paying the legal profession to prosecute members of the force who can be actually ignorant of their expected duty requirements principally because they do not have an ongoing upskilling programme. That is simply unfair and UNJUST.
There is one very big flaw in the Guerin Report that nobody seems to have picked up on. What does Senior Counsel Sean Guerin really know about policing? Is he familiar with the Garda Siochana Code – rules and regulations members of the force must abide by? I’m afraid Sergeant Maurice McCabe did not abide by the Garda Siochana Code and operational regulations – the Guerin Report clearly indicates and identifies so but does not countenance or probably realise the Sergeant was in such contravention! While one takes for granted that ‘wrong-doing’ is not an option for An Garda Siochana, every member in such a large organisation must abide by the force working code, regulations and guidelines, including Sergeant McCabe. It is a case of ‘the tail wagging the dog‘. I doubt very much that most members of the existing force would ever want to work with him! To have Senior Counsel Guerin draw up a report in such a short length of time and form opinions, on which he recommends action by Government is a disgrace and a totally dangerous undermining of the police service generally. The fact the work of An Garda Siochana continues successfully is testament to that!
It seems to me once again that an Irish Government further wishes to denigrate the effectiveness of the policing service in Ireland, a service being conducted by a world renowned force. Ask the United Nations. The main problem – the real elephant in the room regarding any perceived adversities within the police service in Ireland is that it is too closely aligned to politics and politicians, from whom they have learned some very bad lessons. They are making a dogs dinner of the service. After all VIP’s in Ireland cannot still step outside their doors without a Garda presence – the same Garda personnel they trust to do this job but at the same time they are determined to destroy and denigrate. Does not make for logic.
All of this adverse publicity being foisted on the public from dysfunctional state services by a bought media helps to create a greater danger for the men and women serving in An Garda Siochana, giving drunken louts and criminals an excuse to have a serious go at the Gardai as they try to undertake their duties on behalf of a grateful public. This is actually a major breach of Health and Safety regulations.
Members of An Garda Siochana do carry out their duties irrespective of the odds and any added threat, full well knowing that if they are injured and in many cases assassinated in the line of duty they or their families will be left to wait 10 to 13 years for any compensation issues to be addressed. This is how those “WHO SERVE” are treated in Ireland.
The core problem lies with politicians and the Senior Civil Service in the relevant Ministries, in particular Justice and Home Affairs. The senior management ranks in An Garda Siochana have been looked down upon and treated with disdain by even the most junior of civil servants in these ministries.
Where else but in Ireland would you have senior Civil Servants meeting agents of the British Security Services MI5 and MI6 and also other national security services in other countries when it was the place of the National Police Service to do so. To do otherwise would take what they perceive and interpret as a junket away from them. We can only guess at what such people had to say after copius amounts of alcohol plied during the course of such meetings. They won’t comment on these liaisons quoting the usual ‘state security’ covers all bit – bull!
Mark my words – nothing substantial will take place as a consequence of what is going on at the moment. The present status quo will remain. All of this is a dangerous smoke-screen to try diverting attention. It could really backfire though!
One of the first things a Government must do is enshrine the function of its policing service in its constitution. Garda or police are not mentioned in Bunreacht na hÉireann – the Irish Constitution.
Any further inquiry that might be conducted will only serve one purpose – to re-line the pockets of the legal profession who were so badly stung in the property bubble burst.

Are Irish Banks Selling Loans to Heavy Handed Loan Sharks & Money-Lender Types?
Are Irish Banks Selling Loans to Heavy Handed Loan Sharks & Money-Lender Types?
Rumours abound that unscrupulous Banks in Ireland are disposing of bad loans for about 75/85% of their worth to heavy handed loan sharks and the money-lending types. The new loan owners are then using illegal unorthodox heavy-handed terrorising and leaning bullying tactics to try squeezing the money by whatever means possible out of the unfortunate borrower.
While there is no absolute proof there are plenty of rumours which should be investigated by the Central Bank, the Regulator and the police. People affected are afraid to make themselves known. Is it likely that rackets continue to be perpetrated under the nose of the regulator?
The former political councillor who was allegedly shot at on the morning of Thursday 2 May 2013 in County Offaly allegedly had a substantial amount of money (cash) in the car. If this person owes people a lot of money, as has been reported then some people in Banking must have assisted in obtaining such a substantial amount of cash, if it is true there was such an amount in the vehicle. Otherwise how did the former councillor obtain the cash? Is there a stash? Is it all being properly and fully investigated?
It is time people demanded more information because it is my belief that certain elites can still get away with practically anything.
END.

Policing in Ireland has failed as Detective is Assassinated.
Policing in Ireland has become a disgraceful farce. We now see the Minister for Justice on national television talking on behalf of the Garda Commissioner telling us the Commissioner said he had sufficient resources. When there is a hot potato problem with a different angle the Minister would soon refer the media to the Commissioner stating he was in charge of the police force. Actually the Commissioner is nothing short if a puppet whose strings are totally manipulated by the Irish Government directly by Ministers and a dysfunctional Civil Service.
Lies, more lies like the sh1t we are being fed about the extent of our national debt etc. etc. Garda resourcing will soon be blamed on the Commissioner when just a little bit more goes wrong.
I can tell you the Garda Commissioner is afraid to act on his own initiative or say otherwise than what he is told to say by his puppet masters because he could be readily dismissed by Government as provided for by a certain Garda Siochana Act of parliament. The Commissioner therefore will not put his job on the line or rock the boat simply in order to protect his job.
Government had to fix their controlling system because of their unlawful dismissal of Commissioner Garvey. RIP.
The same Act gives total control of our police force to politicians, who are a self interest group not devoid, as we have seen of nefarious acts, corruption and crime, right to the very top in government.
The Garda Commissioner & his senior officers do not have the balls to confront politicians who actually appoint the former. Irish governments past have consistently focused on dismantling and degrading the national police force thereby negating its effectiveness in order to allow themselves a free hand to get on with their nefarious contempt for the laws of Ireland and its honest hard-working descent people.
I call on the people of Ireland to protest by all legitimate means until a separation of police and politics is completely achieved.
I would call on the people of Ireland to set up a more acceptable governance for Ireland and its now cosmopolitan peoples other than politics as we know it. Politicians need not think that governance and treason has been given them by the constitution.
It is time to establish a national co-operative to govern this corruption riddled country. Cronyism, nepotism and corruption are still rife while the citizens are being destroyed mentally, physically, morally, and financially.
Now that one of our police officers has been brutally assassinated, this present Irish government is content to sit back and push the onus back onto the Gardai to solve their own grievous misfortune without the full and proper resources to do so. Even the Garda fleet of vehicles is vintage 06 & 07 when police vehicles are normally burnt out and unroadworthy in six months.
Crimes reported are not being investigated because the resources are not there to do so.
People are very frightened and afraid because they can see criminality and criminals do as they please without fear of prosecution, conviction and imprisonment. How else could criminals accumulate dozens of convictions each.
The answer is very simple.
This is one of the reasons the detective was executed. There will be more to suffer the same fate and worse.
Democracy in Ireland is only for the benefit if the few and does not apply to the mainstream, backbone, ordinary hard-working people of Ireland.
It is time to take action to give the country back to the people. Self interested politicians and politics has failed and destroyed our nation.
