The whole pipe bomb thing started with RIRA/CIRA selling devices to gangs in Limerick. Other gangs followed suit & certain enterprising criminals realised that they could make money by building them for these gangs. These devices aren’t hard to make if you’ve got the knowledge, raw materials & a reasonably well-equipped work shop.

Thanks Fiachra

@fiachra,you dony even need a decent workshop or tools 50e would buy anything needed to make and I can’t imagine there been a whole lot to making one either all that’s needed is a electric discharge to the explosive it could be set off by text/timer/pressure

@Fiachra…

your full of crap…….the “whole pipe bomb thing” started in Dublin…….

Now there seems to be pipe bombs being found everywhere. There is something sinister going on and it’s not all to do with gangs or so called republicans….

but if it makes you feel better to blame limerick for the woes of this country, go right ahead and do it….

@viscount
Do you believe everything?

Maybe Fiachra can produce evidence of “this whole pipe bomb thing” starting in Limerick.

Irish people are getting more and more gullible by the day…..

One post further down you practically accuse the gardai of planting the bombs themselves so that they can take the credit for finding and disposing of them (even though it says in the article that it was an army disposal unit, but hey, don’t let that get in the way), takes a brass neck to expect other people to back up their comments when you post comments like that yourself,

Most of the time they seem to be found before they’ve been planted. Or as happened recently, thrown through a window and failed to detonate. I’d say the gardaí are just being tipped off and nothing more sinister then that. But even when they bust the “factories” it never seems to make a noticeable difference in the frequency these devices are found.
