jiggy 3,207 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Gangster John Gilligan was originally given a 28 year sentence later reduced by a few years in Dublin for importing cannabis. They couldn't get a conviction on him in the murder case of journalist Veronica Guerin so when they did get something on him he got hit with the highest sentence in history for a class d or c drug. Politics takes over in high profile cases. Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,622 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 I havent read all the stories Sid im just going from local folklore type stuff and from what i was told he got hit on the head with a rubber cosh that gave him a black eye and a headache....then went back to work and died years later from an illness the coroner reported was unconnected to the robbery. But i accept brain damage makes for a much better story. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think anyone will ever know that mate but I suppose the kindest thing is to assume he was. I remember the day well as I happened literally a stones throw from my yard at the time and it was obviously a big deal with police and the area cordoned off etc. Violent men who come from a world of other violent men react violently in violent situations.......in every other regard they may as good a bloke as you could wish to meet. Thats the bit most people have a hard time getting their head around. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Heard this week the probation service is being taken back into government ownership as the privatisation has been a total disaster, without giving to much away one of mine is on quite a long licence never sees the probation and just rings them to say he,s off abroad and they give him the green light, may be different in different council areas but down here it’s a total joke Link to post Share on other sites

What a lot of people don’t know is that the knife used on the lad wasn’t Noyes knife it was the lads . He was found not guilty for the death of the police officer, and I believe was fitted up for the M25 stabbing. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
shovel leaner 7,648 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Go on YouTube and watch a clip called”when Charles Bronson met Dave Courtney in prison “ all the way through , he talks about it . And if Dodgy Dave says it it must be true . But if you think about it , the Police had the means and the motive to stitch this guy up , and I think we all know that they are more than capable of it .

I would'nt be suprised if he's not re-called on licence within 12 months, any public order offence, minor scuffles they will look for any excuse . I know a man round here out on life licence, he can never leave the country without permission, until further notice. I think its the criminal assets beauro it's called are nipping at him all the time for an outstanding bill of 1.2 million ffs If he's spotted driving a new or decent car they are at him, where did ya get the money for this ect he does'nt get a minutes peace he can have nothing of worth in his name. He's said on more than one occaision I've done my time but they still own and control my life. When does the saying "I've done my time" actually come into affect? Link to post Share on other sites
