removal of the remains of 372A Clontarf Road , after the so-called " COLLAPSE "...
They became alarmed at the actions of the workers under Mr Alan Costello , and became
convinced that Mr Alan Costellos workers were intent onDEMOLISHING the shop at 372
Clontarf Road .
They rang Mr Maguire's solicitor , Mr H. J. Roundtree ( " Jack "…of all trades… ) ,and explained
the situation on the site at 373 and their fears regarding Mr Alan Costello's intentions...
Mr Roundtree reluctantly agreed to threaten Mr Costello's company , G. SAUNDERS &

to sue them for damages should they proceed with their CRIMINAL DAMAGE , and blatant
attempt to undermine the foundations of 372 Clontarf Road , in order to cause it to ...
..." COLLAPSE ..." - as 372A had done , just 2 days earlier...

interrogate , abuse and finally kidnap and ILLEGALLY-ARREST , the LEGITIMATE

Clontarf Garda Station who ORDERED his thug-underling , Garda David Gallagher of
Raheny Garda Station to force-entry , WITHOUT ANY WARRANT..., into the 1st-Floor
flat of 372 Clontarf Road.
Detective Joseph Enright did not attempt to restrain his subordinate ,Garda David Gallagher ,
the COWARD , who almost at the point of losing control of his bowels , and in an underhand
fashion , crept-up behind Mr Maguire (who was seated and handcuffed at the time ) and
struch him on the back of the head with a heavy torch , cutting the scalp - while his attention
was diverted by Detective Enright's loud questioning and accusations...
Mr Maguire was left in no doubtas to the ' con sequences' - not only for himself , but also
for his family - if he persisted in refusing to capitulate to the CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY,
of which Mr Alan Costello was/is a part , and SELL his fathers property at :
372 Clontarf Road ,
Dublin 3
to Mr Alan Costello's company( in the NOMINAL SENSE at least ...) :

Gallagher laughed – not without good reason - all the way out of Mr Haughey's ...court...
