Gardaí investigating rural burglaries carry out raids in Dublin

Searches were carried out by gardaí in Dublin yesterday.

FOUR MEN HAVE been arrested in connection with burglaries and thefts following a number of search operations in Dublin yesterday morning.

The operations were part of ongoing investigations in the Tipperary and South Eastern region.

Gardaí from Tipperary, assisted by officers from Carlow and armed gardaí, carried out the searches.

The searches were carried out in the Clondalkin, Ballyfermot and Pearse Street areas of Dublin.

Four men were arrested and detained under the provisions of section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984, at Roscrea, Thurles, Nenagh and Carlow garda stations.

During the searches, gardaí recovered a large quantity of stolen property including a trailer, power tools and other assorted items.

Three of the males were expected to appear before Naas District Court at 10.30am this morning.

    “Were people dying in the United States, in France, and in Germany and in England”.

    Yet when people were dying in Northern Ireland, “Sir” Bob was happy to pal around and accept titles from Margaret Thatcher and her Conservative nutters.

    Sir Bob is a dude! he’s been witness to a lot of tragedy including personal tragedy and he just keeps plugging away. With his money he could easily fade into the background and live a handy life but he chooses to campaign and raise money. Some man for one man!

    Brian,
    People call him ‘Sir Bob’ as a nickname because he got some kind of knighthood – KBE, I think – from the queen.
    If you were pedantic though, you could technically say ‘he’s not actually Sir Bob’.

    And if you knew what you were talking about you’d know he received an honoury knighthood… just like Tony o Reilly. … you also know that they are given to non UK or commonwealth people and that the title Sir does not go along with it…. I doubt very much Geldof refers to himself as sir just the wannabe idiots spouting on about it

    Yes, a KBE …and we call him Sir Bob because it’s his nickname.

    Don’t worry about it anyway, Brian – that’s the main thing.

    Ah, come off it, Journal. My comment was fair comment. Why delete it?

    All I said was, if he focused on his own immediate family instead of trying to save the world, would both he, and they by extension, be better off?

    He said as much himself ffs.

    Why would he need to be “focusing” on a grown adult daughter who has a husband to look after he and plenty of money?

    @niall I imagine he’s the kind of guy who looks at the bigger picture not his immediate personal issues. And to be fair what can he do when his grown up married children do drugs in secret? The world as a whole is better off with Sir Bob doing what he does!

    Well, Neal, his now tragically deceased daughter is on the record as saying – to paraphrase – he never bothered much with the grand kids.

    No I don’t suppose there is but at least you can sit back behind one of your latest anonymous profiles and feel really super intelligent after that comment. So I guess in a roundabout way I helped one person today…. No need to thank me ;)

    I don’t know why he is attacking Australians as the video says.

    They topped the World Giving Index a few years ago, while he dodges his tax in Britain.

    I would have though with his life experiences and all his millions and all the good advice he dishes out he’d have made his family and home bomb proof before saving the world. If anyone could have saved that child from her self he could.

    Bob should marry Sinead O Connor —- they both are so alike it’s uncanny, between the 2 of them they could save a lot of people. If they need any more help good old Bono could save the day. We are lucky in Ireland to have the 3 of them — they seem to know everything and know how everything should be done. Did they go to the same school or are they just typical Irish People ? They could be called the Holy Trinity or I can’t think of an appropriate neme just now.
