Numbers are been estimated at 5000 although I think it had easily swelled to 6-7 by the time it reached City hall.

Sincere well done to all who organised it. The notes struck by Mayor Gilligan and Steve Collins were I felt apt, sincere and suited to the day.

Watching our beloved Willie's tash twitch live on TV, I spied that the left side of his whiskers started to tilt slightly to the left of his gob in a downward trajectory, as the inane platitudes dribbled out of the other side of his gob in an outward trajectory, a sure sign that he's either lying or doesn't give a fuck. He was rambling about more leg-is-slayshun, or something. I think we're looking at the march from the wrong perspective. Ask yourself this. If you were a scumbag would you lose sleep over this – would you be recalling that there was a similar march on behalf of the murdered night club bouncer Brian Fitzgerald a few years back and that nothing came of it, except genuine, but ultimately futile expressions of outrage. But if you, the scumbag,heard today that the good people of Limerick had chipped in a fiver each to raise 25 grand to hire a good no nonsense hit squad, now that might give you pause for thought. Circa 30 bullets in 30 designated skulls is all it would take to clean up this town. It would be all over in a weekend.

No doubt a politician or two will turn up for the photo opportunity, then go back to being a politically correct arsehole in the day job on Monday, sometimes i wonder who is the scumbag is it the criminals or the PC brigade who prevent them from being punished

Well done all. Looks like it was a success? Don't know what Willie was promising but I suppose we'll find out.

I agree something has to be done! Organised crime will all be an issue. The aftermath of the Veronica Guerin killing and public outcry should prove this. Hopefully life can be made a little less comfortable for these criminals in the future, by hitting them where it hurts.

"Rosa Parks" indeed….. sounds like another sprawling housing estate in the making :) – Fox

It isn't about sending a message to criminals. What they think doesn't matter.

It's about sending a message to the authorities that we want the criminals crushed.

The alternative is to do nothing.

Congratulations on the optimism there Will T.

Pity you werenâ€™t around to tell Rosa Parks to get her lazy arse off that seat.

It could all have been so different…

I'd like to think this march would mean something – but it wont!
If the Munster Rugby team marched through certain estates in Limerick with a March againts crime banner, they would be either Laughed at, shot at or stoned – just like the Gardai are!! Thats what your up against – sadly!

I'd like to see a mass-lynching on Sky but it probably won't happen because of our namby-pamby PC liberal bullshit laws.

Reclaim the city is what I say. Down with scumbag knacker useless bastard pyjama people.
