Calls for inquiry into ‘sinister’ online posts

An urgent garda and prison service investigation has been demanded into what has been described as “sinister” messages posted on Facebook by a feared Limerick criminal.

Fianna Fáil justice spokesman Niall Collins yesterday asked Justice Minister Alan Shatter an inquiry into a Facebook site which has messages, in the name of the criminal, and responses from a known associate.

In a message, the criminal, who cannot be identified, states: “The day I get out [from prison] is the day the party won’t stop in [Limerick address].”
