Investigating gardaí said they are anxious to speak to anyone who was in the vicinity of the Red Cow between midnight and 3.30am on Sunday. 

Gardaí said they also want to speak to any taxi driver or other motorists who may have passed through the area during that time and who may have dash cam footage. 

They also want to appeal to anyone who may have noticed a dark coloured Audi A3 hatchback car travelling by road in the general Clondalkin area between 2.30am and 3.30am.

Investigating Gardaí can be contacted at 01-6667600. The Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.

    Since when is the red cow in Clondalkin? It’s not even on the same side of the Naas Road as Clondalkin. Surely ballymount would be a more fitting address.

    @Coco86: I’m taking from this that it sounds better for news stories that this stuff only happens in the likes of Clondalkin, Tallaght etc. The red cow is not in Clondalkin, it’s on the Naas Road.

    Any chance you’d report on the Taoiseach accusing 4 consultants of lying about the scandal of bodies decomposing in waterford mortuary?

    @Seán C: You mean the story they posted 5 hours ago, just scroll down a bit. They weren’t accused of lying but there have been no other reports of it except the four that signed the letter.

    @Kevin50: Well we learned from commenters during the week, the armed PSNI won’t go after a lorry carrying 2 ATMS, or lost them on a dark desert highway. How can we expect Gardai in the South to be any better at catching criminals.

    Sounds like they’re communicating via morse code with all these shots being fired.
