A dismantled BMW X5 was discovered as well as documentation listing the value of each car part. Gardaí

Man arrested as €108,000 worth of stolen vehicles seized by Gardaí

Five vehicles were seized by Gardaí at a motor yard in north Co Dublin.

A MAN WAS arrested and €108,000 worth of stolen vehicles were seized by Gardaí following the search of a motor yard in Lusk, Co Dublin, today.

The search was carried out by Gardaí investigating the theft of a BMW X5 from Newry, Co Down in August 2019.

The vehicle was found dismantled in the yard and its individual parts were set to be sold on. Investigators also found documentation itemising the value of each car part.

Four additional vehicles were also seized and the total value of the haul is approximately €108,000.

A man, aged in his early 40s, was arrested at the scene and taken to Balbriggan Garda Station. He has since been charged and is due to appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice tomorrow.

    Bad a state as this nation is in, Think how much worse it would be without the likes of Intel. We must do everything in our power to keep them here! Good news for once.

    Ireland has been very good to Intel equally as well. It works both ways.

    Personally i think its great news. I just hope the current shower in government dont end up selling away our corporate tax rate to the EU. That would definitely cause a lot of multinationals to jump ship, and really leave our country down the creek without a paddle.

    Enda favours Eurobonds, which may only happen in the context of ‘deeper fiscal union’ according the Merkel. Fiscal policy is the tax and expenditure policies governments use to manage the economy. Tax harmonisation will be a prerequisite for the introduction of Eurobonds, which makes sense. However, Eurobonds and a 12.5% corporation tax rate are mutually exclusive. The Irish government wants Eurobonds and to retain its corporation tax rate – The Greek government wants bailout funds without austerity. This is called having your cake and eating it, especially in today’s cutthroat financial environment.

    Agreed Jerry, so signing up for this treaty, means that we (Ireland) will be forced to sign up for the CCT (consolidated corporate tax) which will mean the large multinationals that are in Ireland will see no specific benefit of being in Ireland. Our corporate tax rate is the key decision point for multi-nationals to come here and stay here. If that is messed with, all hell is going to break loose in this country, as the multi-nationals will opt for countries within europe that have lower wages, as this will be the only differentiator if the consolidated tax rate is adopted in Europe and Ireland.

    I agree with you Cal, and it appears the government has a contradictory policy on this issue. A ‘no vote’ will maintain the status quo.

    I get sick hearing about all the foreign companies and how great they are! Doesn’t anyone see that they’re bleeding us dry! Huge amounts of IDA money( taxpayers money) is handed out in grants to these companies every year, and the huge profits are taken out of the country! All you hear from this Government is FDI this and FDI that! Let’s get up off our backsides and build our own companies! What’s to stop us? We’re supposed to be a highly educated people! So let’s prove it.

    Great news and I can’t believe some want to throw away this momentum of jobs growth by voting NO.

    A YES vote is the only certain to keep this good progress going.

    HP cut thousands of jobs worldwide today to prompt “growth”. I always wonder do you guys mean growth in profits or growth in employment. But then of course I realise you always mean the first.

    Its funny how HP loses jobs and Intel creates jobs.

    One situation balances out another.

    RTE have had this sort of balanced reporting technique for decades.

    This is good news – the staff in Intel Ireland know their jobs are safe. There might not be redundancies in HP, but if there is it could take the shape of early retirement packages. Stop being such a pessimist…

    @Barry O’Brien: You don’t understand propaganda just before a vote so that makes me a pessimist.

    Your failure to understand propaganda makes you the ignorant. How did you check the validity of this information just before you vote in a referendum?

    I would rather be a pessimist than in your state.

    Very presumptuous of you to say I don’t understand propaganda. I can assure you I do. And if this was a propaganda piece it would have FG/Lab written all over it. Alas, this does not… This is simply Intel following their “tick-tock” method of processor upgrades. After a two generations of CPU redesign and the die size is reduced, a fab needs to be upgraded to manufacture the new dies. The manufacturing plants outside of the USA are located in Ireland and Israel. One worry was that when the Ireland fab is out of date then Intel might build a new plant in another country rather than upgrade the Irish plant. This story is Intel confirming, to our delight, that they are upgrading the Irish plant. I don’t see Bruton crawling around taking credit…

    the low corporation tax isn’t the only reason Intel are choosing to invest in Ireland. it’s also down to the performance of the Irish employees who have delivered best in class in quality and output and cost compared to other Intel sites. the Irish Intel employees are also compounding their reputation in america by working on new technologies with their american counterparts.

    “Intel has warned that proposals are always subject to changes.”

    i.e. you dare try to tax our multi-billion profits and we’ll be off to China. An economy built around this unsustainable model of investment is doomed to failure. Intel will leave eventually, might not be for 20 years but they will go.

    Intel have an empty factory located in China that they’re keeping open in preparedness for any changes in taxation situation here. I have two friends working in Intel who have both been privy to this information. As said, completely unsustainable.

    Intel will never put their newest processes in China, the F24 process uses old technology an practically runs itself in its maturity so that’s why these guys think that the current process could go there, Intel like many things about Ireland including our climate and education levels. P1272 is coming to Ireland supposedly as HVM2 which is good news for the confidence in the Irish plant. Also many guys who were once based in Ireland have gone up the ranks and are now very fond of Ireland.
