Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 01:46 PMSick of reading about the Dundons. Too much press coverage in the LL given to these inbred punks. It would be great if someone just took them out. can't be that hard! Put a sniper in a building over looking the court house, and next day they are up , 2 pops, good day, and the tax payer saves a fortune and Limerick moves on.
